Harness Bar For R35?

[LSX-438]

Anyone considered or installed a harness bar for an R35?

- Would prefer something which can be removed in between race meetings if possible.

Any ideas or fabricators in Sydney who may have done similar work before?

Thx

thanks for the link, what do you think about that bracket coming off the seatbelt mounting point (at the top)? Looks a bit delicate.

FWIW, I've been told the EVO9 Sparco harness bar actually fits the R35 (as below) with a slight modification (longer threads for downtubes). What do you think?

I've found availability of the above harness bar (for evo 7~9) in Sydney, so it looks like this is what i will be doing. Seems nice and clean and should be installed/removed in 10 minutes or less. About $650AU. I'llpost some pics when i get it installed.

I picked up my harness bar (intended for Evo 7 - 9) and i was surprised that it all just bolted straight up!

And here is one from the USA where a guy has used from extinguiser brackets (to keep the harness itself located in place)

looks good to me. seat and harness really transform the way you drive any car on the track. they are 2 of the best track oriented mods you can do. you go from gripping the wheel and bracing yourself against various parts of the cockpit as you get flung around, to being rooted in one spot and being able to drive with your fingertips and toes. and suddenly find you have so much more feel of what the car is doing and can focus on driving it, not holding on to it!
