The old ones were cheap $35 for a set of two off of ebay. Not really adjustable, thin, constantly worked lose so they really weren't safe and just overall poor quality. They new ones were right around $70 a pop and you can really feel the difference in workmanship. These suckers keep you locked to the seat and really feel way more secure. Plus once I set them they don't work lose at all. I looked at G-Force, Crow, and the RaceQuip's that lowrange2 told me about and they all look about the same quality. I had free two day shipping on these so they were what got ordered.

After using them for a couple weeks I can tell you that they are solid. My girlfriend isn't the biggest fan of them since they take too long to get on but its a give an take I guess. Again, to anyone that is about to put in harness, DON'T BUY CHEAP EBAY HARNESS. They don't really work, don't stay tight, and have almost zero adjustment.

It only takes too long if you're out of practice. That just gives you a good reason to reach over and feel her up to put her belt on for her.

this and sliders are gonna be my next mod... well once I learn to weld... Do you have measurements on the bends? I like the way you did the A pillars outside the dash. Definitely makes things a lot simpler.

They all show up for me. What pictures are you looking for? I can take some more but everything is welded in and installed now obviously.

Just curious, does your air tank give you a big blind spot? Also, I know the pvc roll cage was a joke but it gives me the idea to mock one up with pvc so I can have one made with as few welds as possible. Yours looks cool though, great work.
