This fixed my problem of the factory belts rubbing against the main bar. Then I welded the thin bars on the top of the main bar to hold the shoulder belts in place. I mis measured buy an inch on both sides so I have to cut and relocate them next time I go out to weld. What a n00b! Anyway, then I bent the 2 downtubes on my tubing bender and hammered 3/8" bolts into the ends so I could thread the rod ends on.All I need to do to finish the bar is relocate the shoulder strap "holders", and weld the bolts into the downtubes. I borrowed my friends little 1" disc grinder/sander to smooth out some of the welds, then I'm going to prime it and paint it with VHT black wrinkle finish paint. I bought the paint last week and did a test swatch on a scrap piece of metal, and it looks pretty awesome. It might end up being a little glossier than I wanted so I might spray some semi-gloss black on top of it, but the wrinkle finish will remain.Here's some pics as I went along. Sorry for the quality, they are from my Blackberry. I'm always so nervous to bring my SLR out when my hands are dirty, and I always forget to get a camera until I'm almost done haha. Enjoy!<img src="http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e250/stprorolla50/Harness%20Bar/IMG00044-20101211-1321.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e250/stprorolla50/Harness%20Bar/IMG00046-20101211-1322.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e250/stprorolla50/Harness%20Bar/IMG00043-20101211-1321.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e250/stprorolla50/Harness%20Bar/IMG00048-20101211-1334.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
