I know the belt would have to attach to the bar. Thats annoying, but I think doable, and I'm way more comfortable putting a 2" weathersealed slit into the cab wall, more than I am somehow modding the whole cab to find a way to put a bar inside it.
I didn't see the seat attachment thing tho, I may have to reread it. I didn't think you hard-mounted the seat in the back.
I'm looking at a few sections:
ROLLBAR
Roll are mandatory in all cars (includingT-tops) ning11.00 (*7.00) to 11.49(*7.35) ,in convertibles running11.00(*7.00) to13.49(*8.25), in all dune-buggy type vehicles running 12.00(*7.50) seconds ad slower. Permitted in all cars.
Roll cage mandatory incars running 10.99(*6.99)orquicker or any car exceeding 135mph.In ull-bodied cars, with unaltered firewall ,floor,andbody (from firewall rear ward ,wheel tubs permitted) ,running between 10.00(*6.40) and10.99(*6.99), rollbarpermitted in place of roll cage.
--------
Since my truck is full bodied with an unaltered firewall, I assume this means a regular hoop-only is enough for me. I don't expect to run faster than low 11's tops this year, so thats alright.
Adding rear-bars is easy with bedfloor and tubs, especially from an external hoop. The biggest thing would be needing a door bar at some point in the future, if I ever got to that point. And figuring out how to mount the harness. I have low-back buckets...which I have a bad feeling will become a problem at some point. The door bar is the only thing that would have to penetrate the cab, which is a shame that it can't be avoided, at least not the way I read it.
