Vette Life.......the guys must be asleep. This forum is always filled with the most knowledgeable and helpful enthusiasts. Since I'm awake.....I will tell you that I got mine a few years ago from Arizona Speed and Marine. Fit perfectly and does not get in the way. Check them out.

I looked years ago, and found that no one was making one. Just did a search on Arizona Speed and Marine's website, and came up empty.

It kind of makes sense, because anywhere that would require harnesses would also require rollover protection in an open car (NHRA, SCCA, even private track days now require convertibles to have either factory or aftermarket hoops or minimum 4-point rollbars installed.)

My solution was a 4-point, bolt-in rollbar from Wolfe Racecraft (http://www.wolferacecraft.com/detail.aspx?ID=787) $600, and requires drilling. As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't provide any rollover protection, but is a nice, solid mount for my 6-point harnesses.

Thanks. Too bad no one is producing these bars. Going to add a hard top next year.
