TIKT Roll Cage finally installed

Hey all -

This cage is fantastic. Beautifully finished, light, installs remarkably well.

Highly recommend.

Seat and Harnesses shortly. Seat should be delivered this week I believe.

Ideally keep me planted well in the seat via harness and fingers crossed save my life in a roll.

Does your style of driving increase your chance of being ejected from the car or rolling?

Mostly teleporting. I’ve learned Delorean style.

Great! I'm planning to go the same route. Great if you inform what parts you are getting? Can you fasten the Scroth harness on the Tikt roll cage?

Have you already mounted these parts so you know it fits? What about rails and side mounts on seats? I ask because I must order these abroad and its very difficult to exchange if I order wrong.

Great. I won't have time to do this install before later this autumn, so if it's ok I follow your process with install and do same later. One question, how do you fasten the harness on roll cage? I can't see that the Tikt rollcage has a bar to fasten harness. And I don't think the carbon bar installed in car can handle the forces from a harness. Also, how do you plan to attach the sub straps? Sorry for all questions....

Congratulations with nice cars and garage!

I can appreciate how the TiKT design preserves the OEM rear CF strut bar, in contrast to the MB Roll Bar which omits the same.
But also wondering - where does one attach harness to TiKT roll bar? It does not appear designed for this application.
