Default Interior for STR?

I have gutted the rear of my car to put in a harddog rollbar, what do I need to put back in the be legal(ish) for STR?
Is the harddog harness bar to put the OEM belts back in legal for STR or do I have to put the stock bulkhead in?

The answer can be found in the stock rules 13.2.I.1:

Roll bars may be added. Roll bars may be welded in. Standard
rollover hoops and covers may be removed if the resulting instal-
lation meets Appendix C, A. Basic Design Considerations. The
total weight of components added must not be less than that of
components removed.

The only items that may be removed are rollover hoops and covers. The way I read the rule, you'd need the stock bulkhead. That said, I doubt you'd draw any protests unless it was lighter than the stock stuff (and as Josh says, you were winning).

So no-one that runs national tours/divisionals/nationals has the harddog with the piece that holds the OEM belts, everyones OEM bulkhead and full plastic?
