I bought mine from Enzo at Finish Line. But since I have a B&B Mfg kit and my roll bar is a little wider than the average Cobra (15 1/2" wide center to center) I used Enzo's mounting hardware and made me a cross bar from 3/4" thich wall round steel. I made two tabs about 2" wide and 1/4" thick and positioned them on either side of my shoulders and welded them to the bar. I also drilled 1/2" holes in my tabs for mounting my shoulder straps. I may have them all chromed some day but for now I just painted them semi-gloss black and everything looks great and works even better. When I first mounted my shoulder straps I mounted them behind the seat my shoulder straps would slide off my shoulders in hard turns.

If your roll bar is 141/2" wide or less Enzo has a perfect set-up for you made with a stainless steel cross bar. If yours is like mine the modification is simple and works extremely well.

Good luck and happy racing.

Clois (and anyone else),
I've noticed that some people have their shoulder-harnesses anchored to the floor---with some applications routed through the seat-back, via holes for that purpose. Others I see are anchored on a cross-bar affixed to the roll-bar itself. Therefore one type comes almost from the floor level, well below the driver's shoulders, and the other type comes from the roll-bar, straight across. Which do you prefer?
