    Source for rear parcel shelf harness bar mounting point

    I remember a couple years ago there was a thread discussing various harness attachment points on the rear parcel shelf. One of the suppliers had a "flat bar" with eyelets that bolted in between to 2 factory mounting points on top of the parcel shelf. I have seen some old factory photos with such a set up.

    Can anyone help me with the source?

    Thanks,
    Henry

    I have debated how to attach harness to the parcel shelf area and I settled on a different arrangement, using reproductions of the harness mounts that were used in the 914-6GT, installed in the area where the vertical and horizontal planes of the rear bulkhead meet, which is a lapped area between panels that are spot-welded together, with suitable backing plates inside the engine compartment. It's not neccessarily what you had in mind, but you might consider it.

    No luck with John at adtvracing.

    I did find a pic of something similar. I remember seeing more of a wider, flat bar with harness eyelets. It should distribute the load better than just eyelets in the parcel shelf and big fender washers. Maybe it was TRE? I'll try them next. I guess it wouldn't be too hard to fabricate.
