Adding a harness bar to a Hard Dog Deuce

Nothing really to add to the original topic of the thread, but I thought I'd point out to the "get a real roll bar" crowd that the Deuce is (to my knowledge) still the only off-the-shelf bar for the Miata that mounts far enough back to be safe in a rear-end collision without a helmet. It's the ideal bar for a street car: the only time you'll ever notice it is when you flip the car over, in which case you'll probably still be alive to wish you'd gotten a "real" roll bar.
On the other hand, by the time you've got aluminum seats and 5-point harnesses in your car, it's time to get a real roll bar. Along with a helmet, HANS device, and arm restraints.

The Ace is in the same position as the Deuce, but yeah, that was my motivation. I drive the car less on the street, and am going a bit more swiftly on the track, so I'm going to optimize more for track safety.
