harness bar
i have been talking with spokanejdmGD3 and i finally go around to fabricating up a harness bar for him since no one else makes one.
im just testing the waters to see if anyone else here is interested in one for a gd3. i can make one for the ge8 but that will take a little more time.

sparco has not released a harness bar for the fit.
they use 1" mild steel tube with a .120" wall thickness.
from the pictures the one i built looks small but that main bar is 1" tube with a .125" wall. the upper mounts are .25" x 1" flat bar and the vertical bars are .5" round bar.
its a rather sturdy one piece design so there is less movement.
this is just a prototype to gauge interest so its not perfect.
the harness just wraps around the bar. cutting slots in the bar weakens it.

thank you god!!!! seriously was going to ask you about making one but looks like you already got it down.
the only thing i would have to say is the bar itself looks like it sits a little high.
im deff interested though

yes you can still have passengers but it limits their personal space. i sat in the back while the bar was in and i was fine.... of course im only 6'2" and 160lbs so its not a big deal for us skinny guys...

looks good!. Only concern would be the back passengers slaming their face on the bar in a crash. I would put a disclaimer that maybe rear seats be elimnated with this bar.
