Here's my temporary/sketchy bolt in harness bar.Can you send me photo or two of the bolt in harness bar? I'm thinking of fabricating one myself - I have plates fabbed and am almost ready to cut tube.

M8. I don't love the setup but I'm hoping the bars it's up against hold it from going forward in a event that it needs to hold.That's about what I did too and it is definitely a bit sketchy. What size hardware are you using?
That's my hope too (and the reason for the extra length). Almost identical; I added belt stays lolM8. I don't love the setup but I'm hoping the bars it's up against hold it from going forward in a event that it needs to hold.
Sometimes I wish I hadn't powder coated my frame for this exact reason. I have a notcher and welder and have some minor rollbar work on another race car but I just can't bring myself to start grinding off the powder coating.Wasn't long ago I notched my seat belt bar. A lot cheaper than a tube bender
I used the color matched aerosol on my temporary harness bar, and while it's not perfect (not as much pearl in it), I think it's good enough that I'd consider coping tubes and welding in a bar like Ross did.Sometimes I wish I hadn't powder coated my frame for this exact reason.

What's the reasoning for that?Class hasn't started yet, but I have been informed that I won't be able to run in the afternoon lapping session because the lead instructor won't put an open wheel car on track with full fendered cars.
Mocked up the harness bar so far. Still needs welding, the correct bolts installed, and some final shaping/finshing. BTW, the harness bar will be closer to the B-piller uprights than is shown once the depth on the center bolt is adjusted - it won't be gapped the 1/2 inch shown in the photo.Wasn't long ago I notched my seat belt bar.

He primarily pointed towards safety (if contact were to occur, I'd lose) and concerns about their insurance. The conversation came up multiple times, at least twice on my dashcam.What's the reasoning for that?
I got the impression that he wanted fenders, but he said that I couldn't run because it's an open wheel car. The thing is, if I were to install cycle fenders it would still be an open wheel car. Im not sure what he wanted in order to let me run, but I plan to hash it out.Did they end up giving you much of a reason as to why? I know some local tracks that want fenders and body work, so maybe that's what you ran into? Be curious for anyone else looking at track lessons/sessions.
