Hey guys, i was wondering if we can use harnesses with our stock seats and no roll bar. I would imagine you can anchor them to the seat bolt, or maybe through the rear plastic, to the stock roll hoops? Also, can we remove the plastic where our headrest is, and run the harnesses through there? Any info/pics on this would be cool.

 

You could remove the plastic roll hoop covers but this is not a simple job as many pieces have to be dismantled to get at all the fasteners. You could just cut them off but that would look like such a butcher job.
There's a local here who installed the harness by just wrapping them around the plastic covers.

 

Ive seen anchor bolts for like bolting to the bolts that hold the seat down. Would these work pretty good?

 

Can't say. This isn't the best forum to ask this sort of question anyway. Ask a moderator to move this to "S2000 Talk" or Under the Hood since your question is requiring some details about wrenching to answer.

 

well think about this...
If you run the shoulder straps through the headrest hole in the seat, any side load or front load would cause the straps to squeeze closer together. The only problem being your neck is in the way...

Honestly if you want a harness, you need a race seat and rollbar. The angle at which you could attach a harness to the stock roll hoops, would compress your spine in an incident.

Leave it alone or do it right.

 

Thats true Asura, i never thought of it that way. Good thinking. Now to the next question. Who makes a rollbar besides cusco? Ive seen a lot, but can never find them for sale anywhere.

 

Crushco? I guess you can include them as you didn't SPECIFY 'functional.'
A baseball bat to the skull would hurt less.

The best bolt in one that works with the softtop/SCCA legal was the Elda Engineering-which is no longer in production to the best of my knowledge. Wael and Bassem, as always, really did an excellent and thorough job designing it, though probably at a loss. Replicating that design would cost more than a custom bar.

A good roll bar will void your softtop. I think you want something like this what this fabricator built...

 

Yea, i loved the elda bar, that thing is sick. I want something thats going to be functional, because i want to get into racing, and i want it to be used with the softtop.

 

Custom Bar is your only option right now.
