Can you do some more detailed pics of the bar and its fixings, please Geoff? I am very interested at that price - how much labour?

Looks absolutely superb Geoff. However, Id be worrying about all the 'looks like a factory finish' comments - cos if thats the case in 12 months time if it hasn't all fell off it'll be bubbling and covered in stone chips

As this car - to me - is something rather special I can assure all readers that it will be maintained at no expense!!!! Any hint of a chip or bubble will be dealt with very severely - factory finish WILL be maintained!Looks absolutely superb Geoff.

Very, very impressive!
I really want a harness bar but just can't afford a new set of seats and am not keen on hacking up the current ones.
Looks tops mate!

I thought someone had posted some details as t where you can get the std seats adjusted. A good trimmer should be able to insert 2 holes and finish it off I would have thought.

Harness bar. Was it a PITA to fit and have you got any pics of the fitted ends of the bar?

I didn't actually fit it but the person who did say the most tricky bit was getting the seats in and out. The actual positioning of it and the welding of the ends was relatively straightforward. Getting clearance by the speakers and allowing the normal intertia reel belts to work means there are around 2 less clicks on the seat adjustment - not a problem for me, and I'm a bit of a porker
Edit - no pics uploaded I'm afraid but e-mail me and I can send you one or two
