Correct harness geometry is critical to both safety and comfort, making the VE Harness Bar an ideal upgrade for fast road, track day and club motorsport applications.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eManufactured from high-strength 25CrMo4 steel tubing with a 40 mm diameter and 2 mm wall thickness, the bar is engineered for maximum strength while keeping weight to a minimum.

This allows owners to significantly improve occupant restraint without permanently modifying the vehicle structure. Installation of 6-point harnesses will still require drilling of the floor and the use of suitable reinforcement\/spreader plates for the anti-submarine straps.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnlike a rear half roll cage, the VE Harness Bar offers a simpler installation process with minimal intrusion into the cabin.
