I would have done my diagonal as 1 piece, then the harness bar as 2 pieces. Also, no need for the centered bolt holes in the harness bar.

Perfectly accepactable, even better if the mounts were moved 4 inches outward. That is where my cage will be set up from.

The guy building my cage follows nhra drag racing. Its gotta be good enough for drifting. The holes in the harness bar are for the harness to bolt in.

Dam that sucks, roadcourse and drift follow different rules. Harness mounting is a huge one, Y back is not allowed, only in drag.

But you can still get hit by the car next to you just like them, or hit a jersey barrier just like them. Same dangers, they just have more experiance and there car is safer.

so redo the harness bar and add the proper diagnal brace, add the x bar on both sides , get rid of those seats and properly mount a sub strap for a 5 of 6 point.

Put your fixed bucket seats in soon, they may not fit with the door bar you have now.

Thanks man. Im assuming it only needs those mounting plates on the tranny tunnel lap belt and the 5th harness belt underneath the seat correct? The stock placment for the left lap belt is fine to put a grade 5 bolt where the stock belt used to be?
