Need help: Sparco harness bar Evo X

No install guide on their site and no directions came with it. I've just been eyeballing it and trying to figure it out on my own. Anyone done this before? All I need are pics to confirm my theories on what goes where (mostly for hardware and little L brackets supplied).

Thanks for help
Eric

Is it much different than the AMS harness bar? If not AMS has instructions on theirs.

I know that is been a long time since you asked but in case you still need it or for someone else here is a link with instructions. It's for a 2003 - 2004 Evo but you will get the general idea...

Sparco EVO10 Harness bar install guide

Having just gone through this last week, I understand your frustration. I Bugged the hell outta everyone to get these sent to me so I could have this installed for a track day at Laguna Seca last Friday.

I found the center supports to be extrememly tight. To the extent of they wouldn't really fit. I used a 1/4" spacer behind the harness bracket at the lower seatbelt slider bolt position to allow it to swing upward. This also allows the bracket to not contact the body of the B-pillar. I would recommend using a longer bolt to allow for the reduced thread engagement.

I was also shorted a couple of cap screws and nuts. Luckily I had access to replacements at work.

Sparco doesn't supply a template for trimming the interior plastics. I suspect the AMS template would be a good starting point to trim the plastics. For the time being I just left the panels out so I don't screw them up trying to rush through it.

I've been in contact with the retailer I purchased the bar through and plan on giving them detailed feedback on this.

Final word on the Sparco bar in my opinion. It's a really nice product that is missing a few bits and pieces.

It's from Sparco. It was emailed to me last Wednesday. I just happened upon this thread and thought I would share.
