- JoeP - 08-26-2008
I thought that someone else might encounter a specific issue I have with harnesses in my 911. The following is an opinion from the PCA's national DE Advisory Committee. B-K's $300 harness guide bar is cheaper than having to install a new roll bar.

Pete: While updating my harnesses, I encountered a question with my 911.
The horizontal member on my roll bar is about 6 inches below the harness holes in my seats. Therefore, the shoulder belts angle down as they pass through the seats to wrap around the roll bar. Brey-Krauss sells a "harness guide bar" that bolts to the B-pillar. Although the bar is not to be used by itself, it supposedly fixes the geometry when used with a real roll bar. The belts attach to the existing roll bar member, but they are routed up and over the harness guide bar to relieve spinal compression:

Do such installations meet PCA guidelines?
