This is a 1988 844 - so the late style dash (different from Vaughan). I do have a dash bar, but it's lower down underneath the steering column. What I am considering is welding a 1/8" or 3/16" steel plate to the dash bar, somewhere near the center of the car, that would be about 5-6" tall and about 2" wide, oriented so that the plate would be perpendicular to the dash bar. The top of this plate would come up right behind the dash where the stock heater controls are (or used to be). There, I could mount a seat-belt style eye bolt, as the net I have uses a snap in (it's a Simpson). This placement puts the lower and upper straps exactly where I need them, and interference to the shifter is not an iisue. I just need to size the steel to get the right strength. I'd prefer to wrap it around the dash bar but it ain't gonna happen.
I'm going to the ARRC next weekend and was hoping to get this done beforehand but there's no time. I have to work too!
