Default harness/brace bar build for eg6

well i put rsx seats in my car and didnt swap the belts out so i decided to make a harness bar. it developed into a 4 hours project but the end result i am pleased with.

the bar goes from both top seatbelt bolts then there are 2 brace bolts from the middle to the rear lower seatbelt brackets. this cost me about 3 dollars cause thats all it took me in gas to goto a buddys shop

stripped out



spinach



finishing touch's


custom rsx to eg brackets


finished but unfinished


in car, still need to prime and paint.

Looks good. Though running two more supports to the back of the trunk for extra rigidity would make your car hella stiff. Do it!

PLEASE tell me you were wearing the proper protective equipment while welding? i do not see a helmet.

remeber that guy on here who was welding with suglasses and his eyes were red and watery for a long time after and he probably still sees spots

good DIY though, just paint it
