04' 360 Spider Racing Harness

I am trying to do the same thing, but I haven't been able to figure out how to remove the bodywork that covers the bottom of the roll hoops, nor the back panel.

 

Spart,

Have you considered taking the car to a racing shop? Usually, those guys know where and how to install harnesses properly. You may have to install an anchored cross-bar to fasten the harnesses to. Or they may be able to find a suitable anchor point behind the seats, or may have to add some reinforcement. The one thing you don't want to do is simply drill a hole through the wall behind the seat and put a bolt in. The wall may not be strong enough to handle the forces involved in a crash and could simply tear out. That would be worse than using the manufacturer installed cross-belts.

There are plenty of speed shops around. I would be surprised if one of them in your area couldn't install them for you.

Spart,

Unfortunately I don't have the racing seats, so I have a bit more work than you do to get the car ready.

Steve,

I used a race prep shop for roll bar construction for my Mondial T several years ago. However, I still had to work out the details in advance of how I wanted things positioned and how the fit and finish should work out. I don't need a rollbar this time, but I'm nonetheless rather particular about the design. Once I figure out how to get past the interior trim, I'm very confident that the rest will be fairly straightforward.

Has anyone attached the racing harness to the roll bar hoops on a 360/430 spider? Seems like that would be plenty strong.
