you need at least a harness bar

 

yea i just went out to discuss making one
i thought about taking 1 1/2 steel high tensel strength pipe and welding it to a couple 5 inch steel plates to bolt onto the factory seatbelt locations running the bar behind the headrests

does anyone already make one?
so i wouldnt have to have one made

 

are you doing this for track use or mainly show?

 

show for the most part
i dont have any intent on taking the car onto a track
the most track it would see is driving a little around the lake

 

the Sparco one would work fine for you then - not what Id use for all out competition (in that case, better off with a full cage) but it works well and we've used them quite a lot

if you need a package deal with harnesses/bar, let us know...we carry both!

sounds like a sweet deal on there, 160 shipped for both
thanks istan

 

I would never suggest ever using harnesses without a cage.

 

why is that?

 

In the event of a major accident or rollover, harnesses will not allow you to move your upper body out of the way in case of a roof cave in. This is besides the fact that running harnesses in a street car is illegal.

 

if i flip my car ied feel safer with a harness than my seat belt...
legal??
and i drive the speed limit 100% of the time

 

Just giving you the facts. If you flip your car, you might have wished that you did drive the speed limit and not had the harnesses.

 

speaking from a more serious standpoint
none of the cops in kentucky would know the difference
half the time you wont get wrote up for not wearing a seatbelt

they see some racing harness even if attached wrong somehow and they would more than likely pat you on the back

 

good to know ... i never would have thought it was unsafe.

does the legality of running harnesses differ from state to state?

 

I couldn't say for sure.

 

...only for a few milliseconds anyway...

 

But . . . if you install a roll bar, you better make sure you wear a helmet all the time. You'll just look funny driving on the highway wearing a helmet but at least your noggin' is protected from smashing into your roll bar.

 

In many states, cages, even bolt in ones, are illegal for road use

In many states, harnesses are illegal for road use. Those that are legal for road use tend to not be legal for any sort of sanctioned racing.

A harness bar is not "as" good as a cage, by any means...but it does give a safe place to mount harnesses to, which is exactly what it is designed for. It's not designed, nor pretends to offer any rollover protection, or any crash protection of any means.

Not every harness bar is legal for club type track days either

For any issues regarding legality of these items in your state, or with your specific sanctioning body, your best bet is to contact that organization directly.

In Florida, Safety Belt is used as the legal term and defined as a "seat belt assembly" that meets the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
