Robispec Harness Bar Install

Rusty · 09-12-2012, 06:20 AM

I want seats. Just don't know when. Got other things I want/need.

Thanks for the pics. Can't wait for mine to get in. Brackets and sliders for my seat are also on the way

I was wondering how much this harness bar is. Just started researching everything that goes into a racing seat setup with a 4 point harness. I want to do things correctly so a harness bar is what i want to start with.

How much for the bar? (I have tried calling robi spec and can't get a hold of them so i will keep trying)

Email him....thats the fastest way I've found to communicate with them.

Stiffens the "ring module" portion of the chassis too. Looks really NICE.

Robi! Nice to see you on here. I just placed my order and sent you payment via paypal for my bar. Seems like you're getting hit up a lot for this lately

Rusty... Awesome idea putting the install up like this

Looks really cool! I saw these when he made his and thought it was a neat idea.

Just thought I'd share my install and review of Robispec's bar. Taking out all the plastic pieces from the trunk to middle of the car (side sills) was a pain in the butt, but putting the bar in was super easy. Robispec's piece fit like a glove and was made very well. You can definitely tell the difference in strength of this bar over the OEM one. The powder coating was awesome and I would totally recommend this bar to anyone.

Do you have any more info for your harness install? What parts you used, etc?

The harnesses are Takata Drift II clip-in. I used Rennline harness mounts; one side installed on the seat belt anchor point and other on the provided mounting point on the seat brackets I have. Only thing I don't like about it is that because they're not mounted the same distances, one side of the waist harness is a little longer than the other when tightened. I don't think its a safety concern, just a pet peeve and it not being symmetrical; hope that makes sense.

Harness Mount - Door Side-Rennline, Inc.

This pic shows the "tunnel-side" mounting location where I installed the Rennline harness mount with the OEM seat belt buckle, so I can use either the harnesses or the regular seat belt.

Hope that helps. Post up if anyone has any other suggestions/input/concerns. I'm by no means a professional installer/modifier and always looking to learn and also help out by providing info on stuff like this.

Thanks for the reply. It will help for when I get aftermarket seats.

DO NOT get these Planted seat brackets....they are not straight/level and make the seats tilted making you have to do some modification/fabrication for seats to look right.
