Putting shoulder belts in an Scrambler half cab

You have several options on the harness straps that are for Scrambler half tops.

There are at least three versions of the roll bar for the Scrambler that I have seen.

1.       One with the nuts preassembled/welded on the inside of the vertical roll bar near the top.

                        This version all you have to do is bolt the single shoulder harness strap on.

2.       Two with only holes drilled in the vertical roll bar near the top (longer bolts are required).

3.       No holes for the after market roll bar.

Now you have other options if you want the double harness.

1.       Weld a horizontal tube, 11/2” sch 40 pipe, to the main vertical members and bolt the harnesses to it. Preferably around your shoulder height. This is normally only for the short seats.

2.       Weld plates to the top horizontal bar and bolt your harnesses to them. This is good for both the low and the high seats.

 Remember that for the half tops the roll bar is on the outside and for an after market full top the roll bar is inside the top. This presents other problems in putting holes in the half top and sealing it. There are issues of the bolts being big, longer and strong enough to hold the inertia with the single harness. It definitely depends on the type of driving that you will be doing with your Scrambler.
