And on the subject of it being a harness bar, the upward sloping of the horizontal bar to which harness attach avoids interference with the center compartment (as does mine, FWIW) but caused us to question if that has an effect on the harnesses. I don't know the answers to those questions but the mere posing of them is cause enough for me to want to stay away. Needless to say, he advised against it. Granted, he may be biased a bit, but I believe his assessments.
Interesting. So how much did the custom cage run u? Also, could u perhaps snap some shots so we may get an idea of where and how they're attached to car?
This is still a half-cage we're talking about? Or did u go all the way with it?
