Is anyone using the aluminum harness bar from Hardbar usa? If so can you tell me how it attaches to the shoulder belt bolt? Better yet does anyone have a closeup pic?

Thanks,
Craig

I have one in my 86. You just screw the factory upper mount bolts into the threaded holes in the top of the bar. It's pretty straight foward.



Paul
I may have misunderstood your question. Are you asking how to attach the factory belt to the hardbar, as discribed above, or are you trying to install the bar with the factory bolts? If it's the latter, then you should have gotten Allen head bolts with the bar that bolt it to the original wholes. The factory torx head bolts won't fit in the holes in the bar.

Paul,

Thanks for the reply. I have not bought the bar yet. I was just trying to see how it attaches. It looks like most of the other brands have supports attaching to the seat bolts on the floor for reinforcement. The hardbar appears to not have any other supports.

It doesn't need any others. I'm sure Gary will chime in pretty soon.

It attaches to the stock shoulder belt mouting points, and is then screwed in and tighten to provide extra support. Good product and very light.

Actually, I would be very concerned about any harness bar that mounts to the floor, that sounds like a disaster waiting to happen

Hi gents, sorry I did not catch this eariler. The installation very very easy for C4/C5, it is best explained in the downloadable instructions here:
http://hardbarusa.com/hardbar/docume...uctions2c5.doc

The C6 installation is a little more complicated in that it requires a mod to the plastic B pillar interior. Still it is pretty easy, I do it in about 1/2 hour. In any case, the design is such that it is in tension like a guitar string, and in a C4 you actually feel the increaded stiffness immediately.
Thanks for thinking about us, let me know if I can help in any other way.

Gary,
Do you have instructions for the C6 Coupe?

davidfarmer

it is the same, you just have to cut the trim panel (template comes with it) I belive.

gkmccready

Yup. Easy job. And even if you mess up a touch it's not really noticable.

I was looking at a Hardbar for my C5. It appears as though the seat backs are not able to go all the back when installed. Is this correct?

ghoffman

Correct right now. We are working on an option to provide setback without any struts.

If that model comes out I would definatley buy it! When do you think it should be in production?

I have a c5 model that I want to sell if anyone is interested.

Hey Gary,

Is the C6 install the same for the C6 Z06?

Thanks Geoff

I will have the first offset parts in a couple of weeks. It uses the same Hardbar as the non-offset bar so it will be an option even for current owners.

Smart!

I am very interested. Please PM me
