Possible harness bar source.
Ok I have a shop here in Bellevue WA that is a manufacture for Sparco Harness bars..........
I am test fittign a bar Saturday,already talked to Garm about being a source for these if I can get it all worked out.....fingers crossed. Sparco is going from the fixed length back to the flexable length bars this year,so a bar 45-47" will work. The problem is the hardware bar length,I got an assortment available to me to try Saturday so I will find the length needed to work with their bars. I will work on gettign a Yaris usable setup going,that perhaps Garm will be able to get from them for lower cost than me a regular Joe can get.......will know more in a few days. They will make custom length bars for anyone.......as we all know the Sparo bars are in the $450 range,so I will see what I can do. Garm said the NRG 47" bar fits our car,but the upright hardware soes not,Speedware will make bars,not sure of cost yet on that,my guess is around a $100....... I don't want to get hopes up......but I have found a solution just by chance here from a manufacturer that will build us what we need The bar I am gettgin is an older Sparco Stainless steel one which is in the $700 range,my buddy got from a BMW and is selling to me for $150......so after i get hardware for the uprights I am out maybe $250 for a nice stainless bar........ I will keep everyone updated........Brian |

whatever you do, don't use aluminum uprights like the NRG kit supplies.

Pretty sure the bars they build for Sparco are not aluminum....but I will double check,the one I am gettign is stainless steel and is a Sparco bar so my guess is they all will be steel.....not sure if the Stainless steel ones are available anymore.
I will find out though.....that is a great concern. |

Well I am bummed to the Stainless bar I was gonna install is an inch too big to fit......
BUT........I am gonna be heading in the next few weeks up to Speedware and using my car as a prototype car to us to get the measurements to get this started........ Bars are functional,steel and all hardware will be included....... It appears the shop had no idea there was a market for the Yaris at all..... I will try to broker a group buy with them or a wholesale deal for Garm,I am not sure what they will do yet till I talk to them in person..... BUT......this is gonna happen finally......a functional,steel,harness bar...... I am not sure if sedan Yari want a bar,once I get the first steps done I will get measurements for them too........ I always knew knowing so many people who make stuff for the Scion would come in handy....... I will keep everyone updated,it iwll be about 3 weeks before I can go get measurements done.......due to the fact I will probably need to pay for my bar and I am broke from soem medical bills from January......so please be patient......I will get it done for us. Brian Also they will build cages to from what I understand,but not for show cages,they are race ready cages,would probably to model my car for them to get measurements to pul that off but this summer I will gut car so that would be a great time to get measurements.......they are also spendy to build from what I understand from some Scion guys who got a cage built for xB and tC.... |
