Installation of harness bar and supporting brace

Just completed the installation of a harness bar, 6-point harnesses and Sparco seats in my car. The rear firewall is only a sheet of aluminum and not strong enough to support the rear portion of the harness bar so the boys at Orbit Racing came up with a solution to reinforce the bar by triangulating the rear of the cage to the upper frame rails. Here is a link to the work in progress and the finished product.

Re: Installation of harness bar and supporting brace

Is it a PPI roll bar by any chance? See this thread in which another forum member faced similar issues:
