4 point harness mounts
Where do I mount a 4 point harness without a harness bar. I just need locations for the shoulder strap mounts.Thanks

The problem is, you need the upper harness mount (or turn) to be level with (or close to it) or slightly above where it enters the seat back. If you bolted them to the inside rear deck, there'd be too much of a downward angle -- not safe. I have a HardBar carbon fiber bar. You'll need a HardBar bar or Brey-Krause bar...

If I recall, it's spun carbon fiber (not laid) tubing. It's stronger, and lighter, AND more expensive
than the regular HB bar which is aluminum (not steel) and weighs 6 lbs... BK's is SS and weighs 18 lbs...

Just talked to Gary about another product (newly designed & soon-to-be-released lap belt bars). I was right -- the carbon fiber harness bar is "spun" for lack of a better term. I've seen a video of the process for other carbon fiber tubing (not his specifically) and it's pretty frikking cool! Basically, it's the same way they make Trident missile casings. And actually Gary's CF bar doesn't cost THAT much more than his aluminum one (which is very reasonably priced), he just has them in more limited quanities. I'll post a pic this weekend. It's a thing of BEAUTY!! And it's WAY stronger than anything else out there.
