well. typically, the rule of thumb is that "the shoulder harnesses are fitted as close to horizontal as possible. It is a must that the angle of the shoulder harness does not exceed 45 degrees in relation to the horizontal axis of the mounting points."

The mounting points should always be reinforced by a steel plate.


i highly suggest you look into a harness bar or roll bar if you plan on doing it.. if you're going this far about safety on the track, go the extra yard and do the right thing.

otherwise, look into the C-G seatbelt lock device.

yeah, that's what I'm planning on doing. Debating between the 2 bars that are available for the Z. Do any of you know if there are any other bars for the Z?

Talk to EnthuZ, he has the best bar out there (BCR).
Of course if you are not tracking your car, why bother?

I have the avalon racing harness bar on my car. Good design, but remember there will be no protection to your neck in the event of a roll-over. PM or email me if you want some pics, or a price on them.

I am using Schroth racing harnesses...love em.
