That looks great. Is it up tight against the headliner?

Its close, but not to close you can get you hand in between the head liner and the bar

Looks proper. Does it feel like it stiffened up the chassis at all?

Im sure it does..its as solid as a rock...but I think you mean can I feel the difference..no..but then again I have never pushed the car yet !!

I do not even know what a 2 RH seats means..please advise

How's the reclining?

This was one of my concerns getting it...but Im happy to say NO problems. you can "gangster lean" the seat way back and still not hit the bar...

I think he means 2 passenger seats? :shrug: Your driver side has the seat-belt loop/holder on the wrong side.

I wonder if the recliner mechanism is reversed as well? It could be just a swapped cover.

Looks really good!

The recliner mechanism is fine, and on the correct side..thanks is strange about the belt loop..:eyebulge:

Nice install, you're a braver soul than I! Would love to see a yellow one installed on a Triple Yellow.

Looks great. I wonder about weight increase. You pay a lot for R to save weight on CF wheels,etc and this is opposite step. How is weight of the bar and what kind of material?

There's no price for safety, should he track it often.

Exactly. And this is the bare minimum to safely use 4-6 point harnesses which the sears are clearly designed for. A real "harness bar."

1. Factory Seats do not support 5-6 points.
2. A harness bar accomplishes the same thing as a 4 point bolt in bar but the harness bar also includes harness attachment points for the lap portion. Also a harness bar is much less intrusive in a street car, simpler installation with a minimum of tools. Once installed can be removed and installed for DD.
3. A harness bar is 50% of the cost of a bolt in 4 point which serves no additional purpose other than a false sense of safety and a convenient place to mount shoulder harness straps to. Short of a full cage all of this is a compromise for a street car that sees track day use. The idea is to strap in for better control, ability to utilize a HANS device for frontal impacts.
4. If using factory seats a seat brace is strongly recommended to support any type of seat with a recliner mechanism, because they can fail.
