If you roll? Your seat belts will stretch upwards of 4inches as the car rolls and your weight is against the belts. This is assuming your fab guy/wrench mounted the belts correctly behind you at the proper angle to your shoulders.
Move the seat down after the "harness bar" has been welded to the main hoop? you just changed the angle of the belts in relation to your shoulders.
Safety First. No bullsh_t.

That's a good one, I think I can get the bar 3" higher than stock so it'll be close. This is such a bad idea, I love it. I need to find some rollbar/cage build pictures.

True,
I know where a full cage is sitting in Oklahoma. It's out of a wrecked car, and its the first main hoop/cage setup I had ever seen that had all the mounting provisions on it for the convertible top.
Call up Oklahoma Foreign, have them snap a picture of it.
