Hi , in my experience off-road race seats with a harness bar with no hoop or halo are considered more dangerous in a roll over due to you being supported completely upright if the roof comes down . With shoulder harnesses your upper body can shift down if roof collapses . I know that’s a worst case scenario but may be worth looking into or considering if your pushing hard enough to require the next level of protection. May be different in road racing .
Harness Bars & Bucket Seats
Hi All,
As I continue to track the V, the need for a 5-point harness and bucket seats is becoming readily apparent. (If I had the recaros, I’d not have to replace the seats…) has anyone found a harness bar & seats that can bolt in?
I met a guy with an ATS-V at Daytona who used the Braum Universal bar, but he said he had to have someone modify the bar to make it work with his car. Link to that is here:
There’s also the Weapon X harness bracket which…seems sketchy because of how it mounts to the floor:

Has anyone taken these steps? Ideally everything could bolt in including the bucket seats that I’m looking for. (Btw, if anyone has any recommendations…)
