5pt Harness
Can anyone give me a link or the company that produces the lower bar that connects to the front of the seat? I got the upper bar in the mail, found the side hooks but cant find that bottom bar even though I know ive seen it.
Also if anyone is familiar with the R&D harness bar for the vert what am I look at as far as an install?

Are you looking for the bar to mount the sub strap? From a R-D Racing Harness bar system?
If so, that sub mount is small straight bar that mounts in the front of the seat. If you pull the plastic covers off the front seat mounts. You will see a hole about 2" up off the floor. The bar mounted with supplied bolts through those holes. You could fab up your own mount quite easily.

Good point Bill! I should have mentioned that.
I was just answering his question on the R-D front sub belt mount. It was really intended for autox, not track.
I have the R-D Racing harness bar but use a 6-point setup with the sub strap setup to sit on. So that it does as you describe.

If you go with the Brey-Krause harness mounts. They mount to the side of the seat where the stock latch goes and on the floor where the stock retractor is. The mounts are made for clip style connectors.
The price of the parts is $139 or some such. But then you can go 6-point and the sub and lap belts clip on for the days you need them. Then remove for days you don't.
I'm running a Corbeau race seat for track with the R-D harness bar setup. It works. It isn't a rollbar but for a street car is very workable. If you need to look at the bar installed just PM me. Apparently we're both in Raleigh.

Don't use it as a 4-point. The harder you pull on the upper harness the more the lap belt rides up into your stomach. You have a hard impact and that lap belt just became your worse enemy.
Send me a PM or email when you're going to be back in town and bring the parts with you. I'll show you how to install it.
