Installed harness bar and belts today

[Mike in CA]

I installed my Brey Krause harness bar and 6 point Schroth belts today. The installation was pretty straightforward, with just a couple of the usual minor glitches that always crop up in a project like this. I actually spent the most time trying to fabricate my own insulation and carpet piece so I wouldn't have to cut up the factory carpet. I finally realized it was going to look like cr*p, so I went ahead and modified the factory carpet to work. It looks good, but I'll have to buy a new one if some future buyer decides they don't want the bar in the car.

The whole assembly is sturdy and well made, and there are no new creaks, groans, rattles etc after the installation. The entire bar can easily be removed from the car if needed, except for the part that spans the shock towers. This piece appears to be very strong and probably adds additional rigidity, like a shock tower brace.

I won't bore you with all the installation details, but I'd be glad to share info with anyone who is contemplating this project as well as pics that I took during the installation. Here are a few photos of the finished product.

Mike,

The install looks very good, congratulations. One thing you may want to consider is rolling up the loose ends of the shoulder harness and tie wrapping them to the shoulder belt. This will keep them from flapping around on the track. This can be somewhat distracting when a loose end come flapping up around your seat back. Probably not necessary for auto-x but I'd advise it for road course work.

can this bar be used in conjunction with the stock seats? (not the GT3 seats?)
