Here is a shot of the brace that I was using up until recently.

i have plenty of room for a brace, the rollbar i have is a cusco, they are designed to go through the parcel shelf and have the stock windblocker in place. that looks nice that one is there a piece straying into the windblocker holes? if i go custom i will prob to that for both sides to make it a bit more rigid.

Not sure if the extra brace will line up with windblocker holes. I have only ever had it fitted to a NA and had to drill a hole for it.

The brace in the pic is available if you or anyone else is interested. Now that I have a TB double hoop bar I don't need it anymore.

Dirty Dog do a specific harness mount bar that goes between the seat belt towers. For some reason the harness mount has to be seperate to teh roll hoop in some USA racing categories. Or maybe I read their site wrong. No matter, they have the part for sale.

I suspect you mean Hard Dog roll bars.

Is this the product you are referring to?
