I really want more info on that. It looks bolt in, but a little more elaborate than what Autopower is offering..

I fail to see the point of adding a bolt-in "harness bar" to a roll cage setup. wtf? either have it built into the cage or mount your harnesses to the floor pan, at the correct angle of course.

spt can you please post more pics of that cage?!!?

The Cusco safety 21 cage looks good but as someone pointed it it isn't really all that safe. However it is rumored to FIA approved for RHD evos and is used in a few sanctioned races in Japan.
