Default Hard dog roll bar question

Question for you with AP1 and hard dog roll bar (just ordered one).
Does that metal divider behind seats have to be removed or bar fits next to it?
If removing where seat belts mechanism bolts?
Thanks

The bar fits with the rear bulkhead in place(It's a pain to line everything up perfect, but it does fit). If you remove that, you also have to remove the stock seatbelts, too. Hard Dog makes a rear bulkhead replacement that allows you to use stock three-point belts and a harness.

Great, thanks. I rather not remove it if not needed.
I see seat belts are bolted to stock roll bar, what happens with this mount once bar is removed?

You need tabs on the Hard Dog bar to retain the stock belts. You can kind of see them in this photo, also see how the bar fits around the bulkhead.

That is exact bar I am ordering, one diagonal. I will call and make sure tabs are on, I did say I am using stock seats and belts.
Thanks

if you didnt end up ordering with the OEM belt guides.. let us know. our bars are similar in design to what you ordered but we use heavier duty materials than our competition, all of our bars come stock with the single or double diagonal, harness bar and the OEM seat belt tabs that you are in need of... on top of that.. our pricing is better were an S2000 only company. we specialize in track cars. we did a group buy recently and sold 16 bars to customers on here.. everyone has been very happy with our bars.

we have the single diagonal in stock and can ship out immediately if you would like one from us.. check the links in our sig for more info and pics.


another point i might mention is that were located in so cal.. if you are in reno, you could even come and pick up to save you some money in shipping

Well, price is same. Your is $5 less without counting shipping
PM me total shipped to 89502. Shipping is cheaper than driving even tough we are neighbors (~450 miles away).
Local shop is suppose to order it for me tomorrow but I think it is 3-4 weeks out so if you have it in stock I may go that direction.

Make sure you order the bar with the double bends on each side of the main hoop. If you order the one with the single bend on each side you will have to notch the oem bulkhead. The first pic is with the single bend. The second pic shows the double bend.

right, our tubing wall is thicker and our plates are also thicker. our nuts and bolts are both grade 8, unlike the competition where they just send you grade 8 bolts, and send you grade 5 nuts.
