Harness Bar 98-02 Camaro/Firebird

[1BADAIR]

remember, 5 point isnt legal on the street.

that black bar looks way to low to be safe. if the bar is too low spinal damage will occur from pulling down when you go forward in an accident
roll bar-4-8point
rollcage-10point

Yeah I am going with 4pt harness and I am very much aware of the angle that is why I want to put something in the car to mount the harnesses to. I am most likely going to be making my own bar but we will see.

johnny do you have any pics?

Here are the only 2 I have..... poor



I run the Brey Krause lap mounts so I clip my lap and sub belts in at the track and simply hide my over shoulder belts behind the seats when not at track! Use regular seat belts all the time...

yeah and 90% of the cops wont give you a ticket for it... at least none that i have talked to or when i got pulled over then never even said anything about it

Seems kinds dumb to me, Why would a 3 point regular seat belt be within the law but a safer 5 point wouldn't.

I don't know if this is the reason but with my 6 pt all strapped in, I cannot effing move! Backing out of the pits it is a CHORE to look over my shoulder when backing up, etc when my mirrors can't check. On the course I can use all of my mirrors so this isn't an issue, but checking my blindspots, paying tollbooths, collecting from drive-thrus, etc.... all damn near impossible!

Yeah I think it is a can you quickly escape from the vehicle kinda thing. Thats the only thing I can come up with.

Man Johnny I wish the bar was that easy on the camaro.

I may just end up putting a cage in the car, those bars are $300 and you can easily get the material you need for a cage for cheaper than that.

yeah u might be able to get it installed for pretty cheap too... not to mention the other benefits off the stiffened chassis too

[1bad83ta]

Yeah I will have to check that out. Although my brother and I are pretty good at it now.

justin run a cage with a low-side bar. Its not like you need it to pass tech or anything. PS i posted more pics for you in your thread on frrax

[1bad83ta]

I think I am probably going to skip on the side bar and just do a 4 point for now. Oh and thanks for the pics!

Thats what i have been wanting to do as well but everyone keeps talking me out of it in favor of a 6 point. I want to do my own cage though, so probably wont happen for a while.

The cage is a better idea then just a harness bar IMO.

Superman09 I love the harness bar in the Vette we've done a few of them at work for our Limited handling training vettes...

How are you guys bending your own tubing? The equipment to bend tubing isn't cheap and doing it manually is a PAIN... Funny thing is back in the day some of the hillbillies used to use exhaust tubing to make a FAKE cages. Wish I had the money buy the equipment to build my own parts at home. Thankfully I get learn and perfect my fabrication skills at work it's just too bad I can't use their equipment to make my own parts.
