Lachlan Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) Hi, I just got an 81 Brat and hope to do some rally-x time in it (I used a GC a few years ago). I'm curious if any of you first genners have tried to switch in aftermarket or more firmly bolstered oem seats. Post pics if you have! Edit: ok, now that this has been moved to the retrofitting forum, I see the question has already been asked and addressed. Carry on!

Lachlan Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 But while I'm at it, on the subject of harnesses, has anyone fitted one to a brat? I'm wondering if anyone has put in a custom harness bar or just attached it directly to the back wall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if anyone has put in a custom harness bar or just attached it directly to the back wall? I considered attaching one to the back wall, but I don't think it's strong enough. You could either get killed, or worse, a light fender-bender may break the rear glass:lol: I'd make a harness bar if I were you.

TurboXT Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) I put a set of 80's toyota mr2 seats in my old brat, held me great for off roading. Looked nice too. Harnesses, I would either do a bar across the back of the seats from one side of the body to the other (you may not have room depending on how tall you are/what seats you use ) or mount to the floor on a main support somewhere with sandwich plates and through bolts. Unless you're caging the thing, then run a bar across the back between your cage. If you have a roll bar in the bed, just bash the glass out, weld a bar, and run the harnesses in through the back window cutout.... Lol just kidding on this one... Just my 2 cents Edited July 8, 2011 by TurboXT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachlan Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 Thanks for the responses, guys. Ima hafta think about the harness bar. I was thinking about connecting an outside roll/light bar to an inside cage, but there's really no room to get by the rear window (which I do want to keep intact).
