Emira Harnessbar Development Part 3

Love this version!

 

We have successfully test fit the latest version of our QUADloc harnessbar for the Emira.   Overall I'm pleased with it but we are going to add an additional gusset to the outer tabs to make that portion super strong.

I did some math on our Anti-Rotation mechanisms:

1. Primary anti-rotation: 1 on each side (two total)
• Each of the bolts that secure this mechanism will take 29,000lbs of force
• Total strength = 58,000lbs of force
2. Secondary anti-rotation = 1 on each side (two total)
• Total strength = 6,000 lbs

With two 180lb people in the car, wearing harnesses, they would exert approx. 5,400lbs onto the QUADloc bar  in a 30g crash.  Our QUADloc will restrain up to 64,000lbs.  I’m confident it will not rotate!

We also confirmed our adjustability that eases installation works as expected.  This will be a very easy bar to install thanks to the split main bar.  It will also ship very easily.

We are now finalizing the costs to manufacture along with the final weights.

 We have test fit the second proto bar in the car.  I had a brainstorm during my trip to Japan -  jet lag fueled!   We will have two anti-rotation mechanisms in our QUADloc bar.  I decided that the primary mechanism will change in form from a bracket to a bar.  This bar will feature a cam mechanism that will allow the bar to lock into the car more securely.  We prototyped this bar and test fit it into our bar.  It works really well and will play an integral role is saving the rear shelf space.  

Additionally, we confirmed that we have full seat travel with the bar.  This will be great for the tall folks out there!

We should have the third and final prototype into the car this coming week.  Once we confirm fitment, we will move forward into production....and reveal our innovations to the community.
