harness bars!!! - Toyota Yaris Forums

the fastening bolt is a 12mm bolt fine thread grade 8, as that is standard for the seatbelts, it comes with a spacer to facilitate the ability to have the seat belts and harness bar installed together. It is grade 8. the tube end is a extra thick washer .100" thick with a 1/2-20 grade 8 nut welded on the back side, and its all held together by a grade 8 1/2-20 bolt.

This style of tube end is plenty strong, we use it as a engine bay cross brace for late model cars all the time.

As for the difference in B-pillar dimensions, I am unsure, because I haven't had the opportunity to measure a liftback, I imagine they are close in measurement, but it has about 1.5" of difference built in in the unlikely event they are different.

good thinking. this means your bar will almost certainly fit the scion xA xB, honda FIT, basically all smaller cars :)

get some donor cars and get these things OUT there!

You read my mind ;) , the only thing that might have to be changed is the little spacer that goes on the seat belt bolt to fit.
