joetroberts Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 If you live in the Baltimore, Washington Area you need to go to Summit Point Raceway in W VA for Friday at the track, I did and ran my Shelby with the Best Cars on the Road / in the world. But I need help with finding a tow hook that can be installed on the front and back of my Shelby GT, the installation of a 5 point belt without a roll bar and if need be a roll bar. any items or suggestions? This is just the beginning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just the beginning You have got the bug! Check with these guys for tow hooks http://www.bkauto.com/ I have also been checking into harness bars that mount in the factory locations of the existing seat belts to run a harness. There is currently only one company who has one for the 05-09 Mustang application and that will not be ready until sometime in August. http://www.corbeau.com/ Another company has one in development with no anticipated release date http://sparcousa.com For roll bars try http://www.autopowerindustries.com/rollbars.asp Another alternative may be this company who is now in production of a bolt in 4 point bar which mounts in the the factory front and rear seat or seatbelt locations. Not sure on avalibility but should be next month also. http://02057a8.netsolhost.com/ Hope this helps. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilmor Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Have a great time, joetroberts! When I lived in MD, I used to race at Summit Point. It was such a blast. The guys above have given you some good starters for info. I know a guy who still goes to Summit Point quite a bit, he's an instructor at a driver school. I could hook you up w/ him if you'd like, if nothing else just to say hello, just PM me. He also owns an auto repair shop in Millersville, MD.

clark17357 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 PM LULU, he has a harness and most likley may know about getting the other items as well. Lulu (Mac) does not "do" PM's for some reason. If you want to be in touch, PM me and I will get you his e-mail address. He does have a good harness setup.

But I need help with finding a tow hook that can be installed on the front and back of my Shelby GT, the installation of a 5 point belt without a roll bar and if need be a roll bar. any items or suggestions? This is just the beginning You need to very deliberate about this. Identify the class you want to aprticipate in. Find a local SCCA official and let him help you interpret the rules for that class. You don't want to spend money only to have the car fail inspection. I have the bolt-in Autopower Industries 4-pt. competition roll bar with 5-pt harnesses and Corbeau FX Pro1 seats in my 500; but I'm just participating in Open Track events and the tech rules are much more lenient. Some rules require a 6-pt cage with a halo bar and door bars. And they inspect the welds very closely for any bubbles or imperfections. Other classes don't require a bar at all, but if you do install one it has to then meet the "strict" standards. Each sanctioning body and each class is different so check it out. btw, getting the interior side panels back in with the roll bar in place was ..............uhmmmm..........."fun" Have fun!

joetroberts Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I'm not looking to go pro in my Shelby, I just want to do some upgrades that will make my track time more enjoyable and make me a better driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogerS Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Roger, thanks for the info, do you have any experience with the corbeau Mustang harness mount? Joe No I do not Joe. I did e-mail the company because they have the application for the 04 Mustang and mention of the 05-09 fitment. http://www.corbeau.com/products/harness_ba...ng_harness_bar/ Here is a partial response from Corbeau The pictures on our website, which are in a 2004 Mustang are basically how the 2005-2008 will look. There are only a couple minor modifications but the overall look and specs are almost identical. We don't have the 2005-2008 in stock until the end of August so pics will be posted on the website at that time. Hope this works for you, Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
