Finally finished my Harness bar and seat bracket instal. Thanks to Ken for helpin me out again. This project was a bit of a PITA, but in the end it's worth it.
Everything out:

It makes a lot of difference, hopefully it'll help at the auto-x this weekend. Finally a shot of Ken's weaves - how f'in clean are they

Looks good. Is the rear seat unusable now?

For a guy of Ted's stature (6'4") probably. However, I (6'0" 165) could probably slide under the bar without a great deal of contortion.

Nice

Where'd you get the ///M floor mats?

[2002maniac]

Are you getting a roll bar? Using harnesses without one is a good way to crush your spine in a rollover. Looks good though :P

thats why he installed a harness bar..... Therfore in an accident the pivot point no longer pull you straight down but will pull you back... which does not compress your spine.

correct

the mats are out of an m coupe... pretty reasonable from the dealer - i believe they were about $48.00 for the pair. I can post a p/n if people are interested.

harness is FIA approved. also, Schroth now makes Sparco harnesses. The bar is speedware, as ken noted, and it was the last of the stainless ones. They are now all powder coated.
82-11-1-470-372 is the part number for the two front mats. With my CCA discount, they came to 72.25, without they are like 88. It is for the front two only. They fit really well, and seem to be made out of a better material than the stock ones.
