Iso fix bar replacement

[Big red onion]

have just started to strip out my 172 cup. at FCS 2008 GDI had a very nice solid black bar that replaced the standard ISO FIX one in the back of their black show car.
does anyone know where the bar can be purchased from?

A rear strut brace??? :S

the back was totally stripped out and where the ISO fix bar (the bar that holds the back seats in) was, was replaced with a solid bar that had the harnesses attached.

Are you sure it was not just a bar welded in?

I havnt seen the car so i dont know, but that could be it

It was a bar that was made by one of our tech's at the time!

Could you not use the actual isofix bar? Just a thought, have no idea if its possible, but presume its gotta be strong enough etc.

Just out of interest, when others have removed theirs, was it a pain?

bar doesn't look overly strong (for hold 2 adult harnesses in a crash) any one got/replaced the bar with something different as i would choose that lok over putting them into the rear seat belt points??

Mine was a complete ballache. I even broke a Halfords 'Proffesional' ratchet trying to undo the bolts.

Pain in the arse. I ended up cutting mine out. It did the same as above to me!

 

[Jonff]

Mine came out with very minimal effort.

What causes them to be a pain to remove? is all the wet and crap off the roads hitting the underside of the car corroding the bolts?

 

[Daniel]

Yup.

 

[Struggler]

why not just remove the bar, and bolt the harnesses where the bolts that held the bad down were?

thats what i did, works fine.

Was thinking of it as a way of potentially keeping the rear seats in place and fitting harnesses like these:

We are looking into a harness bar that picks up off these points.
