Roll bar for racing harnesses.

Hey guys, just a quick question here. I've got an 86 camaro that I'm slowly making more strip-oriented and I've been looking at getting some racing harnesses. Now, I could just bolt them to the floor I suppose but I'm trying to make this at least semi-legit, you know?

And while I don't have enough free money to blow on a full cage right now, I'd like to install one of those bars that just go right behind the front seats. Trouble is, I can't find a kit that fits my car! Anyone run into this before? Know of any that'd fit a third gen?

Thank you!

I've seen 4 point kits on jegs for around $180 I think. Do not mount them to the floor, when I was researching harnesses I read one good wreck and your spine will crush

You could check into something like this...I realize it's for a 4th gen, but alot of the dimensions are close

Re: Roll bar for racing harnesses.

Bingo. It just bolts to where the rear shoulder belts attach. Easy to make really, that will be my next project as I only autocross, I don't need a cage. Find a welding shop to make one for you as it is only a long bar heated up and bent and then welded to the plates.

Awesome, thank you guys so much. For some reason I didn't even think of checking Jegs! They have exactly what I need at a price much cheaper than I thought.

Thanks again!
