Harness Bar Guide Lopps?

[NoLift911]

I am looking for the harness bar guide loops to weld onto an existing harness bar - anybody know of someone that can source these?

The only luck I have had is CDOC but they do not sell them - all other sources have turned up empty.

Thanks -

Why not just get some small diameter rod material make them?

Make your own. Take some steel rod, bend it into the right shape, clean off the paint where the ends will go, and weld it on.

I fretted about this, but it turned out to be simple. Here is a picture of one I did to hold in place one of the straps that attach the bottom of my window net.



It is wise, I think, to do this. A right side impact will pull on the belts at the bar quite a bit as the seat leans over to the right.

I prefer to use clip or bolt-in ends on my belts, for ease of removal and because there is less chance of point loading on the edge of the webbing. But that is a lot more work: welding in a threaded tube through the bar to serve as the anchor point (you never want to attach something to a tube by drilling through the tube and using a long bolt).

Yeah - thought about this and looked for a local supplier in my area for the rods and was headed down that path. It was just easier in my mind to buy these if avaible - if not I will make my own. I was also looking for some gussetts as well and ca make them also but again looking for the quicker way

Thanks -

Gussets are easy to come by pre-cut. Lots of roundy round suppliers sell them. Like aa-mfg.com.
