Let me preface this with - I agree with Boxhead.
But the DICs (dudes in charge) believe this:
"Race harnesses are deemed to not be safe on the street, as they don't allow you to lift your shoulder off your seat in the action of checking ones blind spot."
Now while a stretch it is somewhat remotely plausible in theory.
The reality is however a race harness in a cobra (and most cars) would not hinder you checking your blind spot in the slightest.
Sean -
It's these simple/silly things that will need to be negotiated should you want full rego in your build. That brings into play the Aussie makers & their experience.
Also just quietly with a $60K budget, personally I'd be looking at carsales to avoid these hassles. Where by you can strip back and redo/rebuild as you please for that "I built it" feeling and still be in a position to drive it in less than the 2 years you've allocated yourself.
Just a thought.
Best of luck.
