Hope you never want to recline your seats.

 

well to be honest, i'm more towards the smaller size of body build. 5'9" tall and about 130-135lbs and if it ever came to parking on the side of the road for a nap, i'd take the rear seat.

i'll have to take the idea to the shop.

 

gonna have to build some so I can adjust seats. argh...

 

i was thinking about making the b-pillar part a 2 piece just in case. i just got to thinking about the passenger... so i was thinking of intagrading the cage idea that Firmware did with that bar harness idea in that image and make it so that it's a bolt add-on harness piece. i can keep the stock seatbelts attatched just for those times you would want to take the harness off for traveling. or see about using the cage piece it's self and have the harness go up to the bar near the roofing... it would look... slightly wierd but hey, it's an idea...

 

Hey! This is a attached to the b-pillar, but it's main purpose is a harness bar to use with race seats.

The bar in the picture was made by Mike (M2-Motoring) on these forums. It is a custom piece and looks like a work of art. He made one for me and I just received it a couple of weeks ago. I believe he had one more in stock, but look him up on here to get more information.

 

Hi thanks for redirecting me here JD. the bar is made of chromoly and uses all TIG welding and grade 8 hardware. It really is a quality piece if you are interested, please let me know. =)

ya deffinetly, how much you charge for that? ad if you wouldn't mind, do you have any better pics of it?

 

here are 2 more pics of the bar i have on hand. hope you like. =)

 

anything like that in the works for a tC?

 

i do like! i like alot! though i think some modifications should be made, but it's very nice!

the whole reclining thing does catch me a bit, i still want it comfertable for my passengers...

was thinking something like this:



or this:

 

plus it's less metal for the rear passengers to smack thier head on.

 

but that also causes major issues for the front seat people in the event of a crash. you want the belts perpendicularto your shoulders.

 

well ofcourse and they would be, my computer "paint" drawing skills just suck is all.

 

if the bar is below it's current height... the belts wouldnt be perpendicular anymore

 

ahh i see your point now... i was thinking diffrently.


@ M2 - how much you charge for that setup? and what other paint styles do you do on them?
