Picked up the parts during lunch. I'll start the installation process tonight...

 

Looks good!

BTW, I called up Schroth (great service on the phone) and they are sending me a threaded backing plate. Should be here Wednesday.

 

Good deal. Make sure and post price/part#/and contact info for the backing plate.


Here's one more picture of the bar...

 

so the side brackets are the only thing preventing this bar from flipping forward or downward during a pull on the straps?


the vertical bars when attached to the ground, make sure that in the event of a severe frontal impact, the strain on the harness doesnt make the bar 'flip up' or 'flip down', thus giving slack on the shoulder harnesses to keep you in the seat...


edit: i think i flipped the side brackets backward in my drawing.. the part that attached to the B pillar i'm not afraid of. its those tabs welded to it... moment of pivot would be going up or down.. there is no top or bottom triangluar bracing preventing those little tabs of bending up

 

It is actually very very strong. The wa the side brackets are made, they will not fold up or down once installed.

 

+1. Here's how the brackets sit. The bracket part that wraps around the back side of the B-pillar prevents the bar from twisting upward or downward.

I borrowed the attached pic from this thread:

oh ok.. cool. just keepin' an eye out for you.. i just dont want to take over your OT mod responsibilities if something were to happen .. <3

 

 

Do you have any updates?

I am planning to do Sparco seats in my G sedan and was looking around to see if it would be easier to get a Z harness bar and modify it or make a new one.

 

I finished getting my harnesses in but it was raining so here are some quick garage pics. Hoping to get better pics at ZAttack8 this weekend!

If anyone wants to confirm that I wrapped these correctly please feel free to give me pointers.

 

That looks great!

 

Thanks!

The only thing I would change is I would have gotten the crotch strap also. I think I can add it later though with the way my cam lock is set up.
