I could be wrong??? I don't have a rulebook handy. But I thought even NHRA allowed the rear/shoulder belts to be mounted to the floor for 10.0 or slower if they were the Y-type where the two shoulder belts join into a single belt that bolted to the floor? But I think rules state where or how it needs to be bolted in, something like x inches behind the seat.

I tried seaching all the supplier websites I have book marketed and didn't come up with any harness bars. But there are allot out there for other cars, maybe you could do some cross reference and see if another car would work or be able to be modified?

One thing I'd also like to point out. One issue with shoulder straps in that you can actually slide out of them if you do not have seats with slots in them. I just found out recently they actually make a strap that will connect the belts to the seats. I can get the company info if needed. Seems it came about from the Corvette owners that autocross and didn't want to change out or have to slots/cut into their stock seats.

I got stopped in a PA police saftey inspection, They had a bunch of cars pulled off to the side and there were probably 15-20 police in total. as I got the front of the line the officers startig looked at me and pointing (cage, harness, 4" exhaust etc). They walked over, started laughing and said "Yup your safe". Handy me the cLick it or ticket flyer and sent me on my way.
