Who has installed harnesses in their GT? How did you do it. I need to get some seat belts in this thing and was curious. I would imagine I would need to build a harness bar of some kind but I am not sure.

If you are just installing lap belts then use the factory mounts on the tunnel and go through the floor for the others. Make sure to use a large backing plate under the floor. If using shoulder belts you need a roll bar that is secured to the floor and the rear shock mounts.

I would like to put a 4/5 point harness in it, but i do realize I would need a roll bar of some kind. Anyone have a diagram for a roll bar for a bradley?

Can't it be attached to the leading edge of the shelf in in the back with a nice big piece of steel behind it? or is the fiberglass not strong enough?
I'm not trying that, but was thinking someday I probably would.

Send a message to Brian Boggs, He had a roll bar for a gt up for sale a while back and may have the dimensions of it, or he may still have the rollbar itself.

I'm not trying that, but was thinking someday I probably would. Look here hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/carcr2.html200 lb driver 60 mph stopping distance 1meter = 4 tons of force. .3 meters = 13 tons You can plug in your own values. How strong is your fiberglass? |

dunno, but I'm pretty sure I don't survive in this car going from 60 to 0 in 1 meter anyway.  No fancy crushable bumpers, etc. like the modern cars have. |
