SharkBar 68-73.

[Paranoid]

Got it installed today even though I'm just starting on the interior. As you can tell from the pictures the interior is pretty "ratty." Carpeting & everything is all original 35 year old stuff. The foam in the seats is turning to powder. :L

This is the first step for the interior. My seat belts were long gone and all that remained were the shoulder belts. I wanted to use some type of racing harness and saw the Sharkbar from Vetteworksonline.com as a way to anchor the belts without cutting any holes in the car. I spoke with Dan on the phone when I ordered and he seems to be knowledgable. Highly recommended.

The bar and all the harware are first rate. Everything is black powder coated and has a nice finish. The bar was very, very, very easy to install.

Now you know why I never posted any pictures of my interior.

Here's some more assembly pictures.

I had to remove this little bolt to clear the bracket:

Here's the holes, already there, that the bracket uses.

Here's a picturte of the bracket.

And the bracket mounted.

For the uninitiated, what is the purpose of the Sharkbar?

 

[Paranoid]

To anchor a racing harness without cutting any holes in the car

Looks great....how hard was the installation? It's kinda pricy isn't ?

I figured something as such by your initial post. I see a crossmember like that and I see "in-car camera mount"

:blue: yep, that's one of the "options" Dan is working on.

Yeah, it's kinda pricey but it's cheaper than the "other" bar out there.

Installation was very, very, very easy. Took about an hour and I screw around alot. :L

It looks like the shark bar mounts where the soft top would mount if your car were a convertible. Still looks good though. I was thinking of a camera mount also. Should be pretty easy to mount one on the shark bar.

I've been looking a bar like this. What supplier did you purchase it from?
