Default Bolt-in Harness Bar Question

Any recommendations for a bolt in harness bar for the C7? I am looking for something simple and safe to install 4 pt harnesses but not intrusive to the interior. Let me know your thoughts.

Awesome install pics.

I don't have the competition seats. Will it make much of a difference for the harnesses fitting through the standard seat opening? I ran Sparcos r100's previously in another car and have Sparco r505's in our 73 Trans Am which have separate openings through the back of the seat for the shoulder straps.

I've been dreaming up an insert to protect the leather surface in the opening similar to the competition seats when the harnesses are passed through. A simple plastic design to protect the leather that snaps in is as a guide for the straps is what I have in mind.

I used Dan at Vetteworks, too.
Great product and I also got the pre-drilled side panels.
Work just fine with stock seats.
Actually, just took belts & harness bar out and is available if
anyone is interested.
