andy10v Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 GC do them for £180 if nobody on here has one for sale http://www.gcfabrications.co.uk/350z_Harness_Bar_Cabin_Brace/p2703117_13654174.aspx Quote
cascade88 Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Can't you wrap them round the strut bar? Saying that mine is stripped so doesn't have the plastics etc. Quote
LewisL Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 How quickly do you need 1? I have 1 but using it til mid April then having a full cage built so will not need it after that Quote
Jetpilot Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Can't you wrap them round the strut bar? Saying that mine is stripped so doesn't have the plastics etc. Sheet metal, not sure i would trust that in an accident. Quote

Saying that mine is stripped so doesn't have the plastics etc. Sheet metal, not sure i would trust that in an accident. When I was searching for harness mounting points I read something along the lines of 'I had the rear strut bar checked for strength in the event of an accident and it turned out it's far stronger than the forces that would go through it from harnesses.'

cascade88 Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Found it: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/78593-harness-mounting-points/ Quote
Jetpilot Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Sorry buddy, not sure i trust, i had it looked at by someone, without a fair bit more info on who looked at it and how was it tested. There will be/could be a hell of a lot of g's being pulled in the event of a crash. Quote
Ekona Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Aliveboy knows his stuff, I'd be happy wrapping harnesses around the rear strut bar too. Quote
Jetpilot Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Sure he does, but for £150 or whatever the link above i would prefer something purpose built for the job, as per your comment regards what price you put on your safety. Quote
Ekona Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Structural part of the car, or bit of tubing knocked up in a shed? Quote
Jetpilot Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Bit of sheet metal or structural sound steel tube welded to the floor and utilising seat belt mounting point? Quote
cascade88 Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) See I've started a debate. In my case and what id recommend is mounting them to a cage / harness bar as part of a cage. This is just my immediate solution till cage time. Some of the 'harnesses bar' setups I've seen look weak. Edited February 22, 2016 by cascade88 Quote
ZeppoJeff Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Just get one from gc fabrications. Seems the only suitable one on the market just now. Quote
Jetpilot Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Just opinions buddy fanny wouldnt drive a road car with a half cage/roll bar, I would, although I bet if you gave him a gt3rs with half cage he wouldnt say no to driving it on the road Quote
Ekona Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Because one had been designed properly for that reason! I'd drive any car sans helmet with a cage, half or not, if I was comfortable that my head wouldn't touch it in an accident. Quote
sunnyleong94 Posted February 22, 2016 Author Posted February 22, 2016 hi guys, guessing my post went bit hot on the topic lol im not hurry with the bar, just searching where i could get one anyway... also my belt was too short to tie it to the strut bar :/ Quote
