Belts are on the way.

Man! You just saved me a TON of work...to end up having a useless backseat.

I am going to use same belts at front. But 4 points at rear to keep rear seaters not hitting their heads to roll bar.

That won't do it, it's just to tight without major re routing of rear bars.

Ok I was considering installing a roll bar too, I guess I need to re-think the entire concept. If you put the roll bar in and the rear seat (even though its not usable) it could get used and to me that is a safety issue. Is everyone just not using their rear seats in the cars with roll bars?

Alright guys, this is the best looking model I could find. I'm 5"9 and my hat is rubbing the ceiling. The roll bar is within 4-6 inches of my ear.

How about padding the rear bars and moving seat positions bit closer to center?

Couple good threads in the interior tech section for street car roll bars.

Here's one:

https://lateral-g.net/forums/show...light=roll+bar

Seems like the only safe option is to design and install a bolt-in Roll Bar and cross support unit - and ONLY install it for track usage when you use a helmet.

Todd thanks for the picture, there is noway thats going to fly with people in the back seat. I guess you go to a 2 seater or you forget the roll bar.
