Welded bar for Harnesses?????

[chrispy.clio]

I stole the picture from Kyle Lew, hope he doesnt mind.
I'm trying to find somewhere to go to get a bar welded in so i can attach my harnesses to.
Anyone know where i could get one made and put in, or what type or bar i should use?

Well the problem (as i see it) seems to be the steel that you would bolt too/weld too is 1.5mm thick and isn't strong enough to support the weight of two people flying forward in a crash!

The above bar looks a bit of show lol? is it CDS? or just polished cheap chrome pipe?

My old harness bar was in the same place but it was attached to a FIA approved 12 point weld in cage made out of 45mm CDS. lol.

I cant really afford a full cage, and dont really like attaching the harnesses to the seat belt holes and they are not straight (proabably fine tho).
So a welded bar would be perfect.

call up custom cages and get a lenght of 45mm CDS then go to a steel shop and buy some 2-3mm steel plate.

make it like that (if it makes sense) so you can put a plate behind the arch too to take the force on inpact.. as bolts will just rip through the shitty 1.5mm shell.

its perfectly strong enough ben, remember we tested it at Oulton park that one time
