We are now shipping this system for the C6 and C6Z. The Harness bar is 7.8 pounds and the lap belt bar is 3 pounds. As you can see, there is very little seat travel restriction (see pic where I have mine and I am 6'-0"). This is by far the lightest and stiffest harness bar on the market. And with a special order a 3 pound carbon fiber version is available as well. Normally they come powdercoated black, but I always keep this one in stock in case someone has an event and I am put of stock. The Harness bar is $325 and shows an optional CNC belt collar ($25). The lap/sub belt bar is powdercoated steel and is $140. The Teamtech Rampac six-point shown is $317 in your choice of colors.
Come see it at NHIS tomorrow!

I used this this last weekend with my HANS at NHIS. Some of the other harness setups I have seen would not work at all with a HANS because there is nothing to keep the harness from falling off of your shoulders. With the Teamtech Rampac shown, the fully padded torso and NASCAR approved Velcro sternem strap is much better than a simple 3 inch shoulder harness, with or without a HANS. Then again, I don't want to even get in any car at a track without head and neck restraint of one form or another.

Gary,
Few questions:

1. Is the harness bar blocking the rear view mirror?
2. Can you describe the lap belt bar, can't really see it in the pictures.
3. Does the sub belt share the same bar as the lap belt? Or, is that a separate purchase?

Thanks.

1. Is the harness bar blocking the rear view mirror?

No, it is below the sight plane. Sitting in the car the bar is completely below the bottom of the rear window as you look in the rear view mirror.

2. Can you describe the lap belt bar, can't really see it in the pictures.
It is a welded steel powdercoated piece that goes between the floor and the seat. Just remove the rear seat nuts, lift the rear of the seat, and put ht bar over the seat studs and replace the seat and nuts. Very simple.


3. Does the sub belt share the same bar as the lap belt? Or, is that a separate purchase?

The bar does both jobs. In the pic below, the red sub belts ( 6 point, if you use a 5 point a center hole is provided) are attached to the cross piece, and the lap belts go to the ends of the bar (black belts in pic). With this setup you sit on the sub belt. I see where some guys run the sub belts forward and that is totally incorrect because you "can't push a rope". A fabric strap cannot do anything if it is not in tension.


Thank you, good questions!

Gary,

Can you describe what steps are required to install the harness bar. Do you supply templates for cutting the panels? Are the CNC collars for keeping the shoulder straps in position or do they have some other function? If they aren't used, what issues arise?

ghoffman

Yes, a template is included, it is positioned over the plastic panel and it locates the 2 1/8 hole saw hole. I use a cordless drill and it takes like a minute per panel. I did a cut and paste from the instructions below. The formatting is a little lost as are the pics. The only difference between the C6 and C6ZO6 is the thread size for the bolts that go into the B pillar. The C6 is an M12 and the ZO6 is an M11(7/16-20). The panels are only $40 from Chevy. If necessary, I can supply them but it is so easy.

The lap belt bar instructions are below as well. That is very easy and yesterday I removed mine in less than 3 minutes. The pictures included were lost in the cut and paste, but are included in the real instructions. If you want the real version, email me and I will send it to you as a document.
As for the shaft collar, I don't think it is necessary with the Teamtech Rampac harness but with a standard harness it is an option for those who want it. It is our response to competitor's products that have welded loops on the harness bar to locate the harness.

c) Disable the “easy entry” seat feature on the electric seats to prevent the seat from going all the way back and hitting the cross bar and hurting the seat motors.
