My new seats are fitted and I’ve mounted them as low as possible which has is just over an inch lower than the OEM seats and a little more reclined

I’ve got a harness bar but it sits too high meaning the shoulder straps come down from the bar and it also restricts a lot of the seat travel.

I’ve tried to find out which bars would sit further back and lower but there’s no real comparison out there. Can anyone offer advice?

So far I’ve found
Elise parts - Same height and depth as what I have https://www.elisepar...er-harness-bar/

Elise shop - doesn’t fit VX220 https://www.elise-sh...2aaaa27f28cf6b3

Seriously lotus - doesn’t fit VX220 https://www.seriousl.../v6-harness-bar

MSAR - same height and depth as what I have https://www.msar.co....arness-bar.html

VX220 parts - same height and depth as what I have https://www.vx220par...er-harness-bar/

Hanger111 - same height and depth as what I have http://www.hangar111...-vxvxr-220.html

Eltech-Italia looks like it sits further back and lower https://m.facebook.c...90265370&type=3

Jon Betts - apparently has 2 versions a standard and a race/track version which sits further back. Struggling to find any info though https://m.facebook.c...brication/about


3 questions
1 Have I missed any options
2 Does anyone know if the Jon Betts race/track version sits and lower or just further back?
3 Does the Eltech Italianone look safe? Anyone with it who can comment? I ask as it looks a lot less substantial than any of the others but is the only one which sits lower?

I don’t have the speaker panel installed and so the further back the better!

I think I have a JB race one spare. It’s just further back. You have to cut or remove the speaker panel.
AFAIK none are lower.

Thanks Foxy, as said I don’t have the speaker panel but I really don’t like the fact the angle is so far off what the guides say is acceptable in terms of the shoulder mounting point height.
The Eltech-Italia one is lower but I don’t know anyone who uses it so don’t know how much.

Oh yeah, I hadn’t seen that one before
