(I know harnesses have already been discussed in another thread, but I really didn't get all the info I needed from reading it)
OK, so here's the deal. At some point, I will want to track the Elise, and I'd like to stick with my BMW club, because I think the instructors are great. But my club also has the following safety requirement:
"Convertibles and T-top cars must have 5-point belts and arm restraints, and an approved roll bar installed - factory "rollover protection" for a soft top is not sufficient for the school."
So:
1) What are my aftermarket roll bar options for the US Elise? URLs please.
2) Am I correct in assuming that there is no way to keep the stock seats, and still have 5-point belts? I mean, new seats will be necessary to install a 5-point harness system, no?
Bottomline: what's the most sensible way to meet my club's requirement?
Forgive my ignorance. I have only tracked my closed coupe with three-point belts.
