    Passenger Grab handle

    There is one complaint that I get every time we head off road..."It's fine for you, you've got the steering wheel to hang on to, but I get bounced around with nothing to hang on to". Sound familiar???

    Aside from leaving the passenger seat empty . Has anyone found a location for fitting grab handles for the passenger that do not detract too much from the original cabin layout?

    I dont think she would appreciate the airbag going off nicely trimmed with a grab handle, I bet that would hurt.

    And tell her to keep her hands off the park brake!

    You must be getting into it!

    Have you told her about using her feet to push her bum back into the seat. It might require long legs or moving the seat down and forward. Not a complete cure, but it helps.
    Hoo-Roo,

    Dave.

    This is a very similar issue to mine (see here). My wife also wants a handle to hold inside. I have all the specs for the A pillar handle, but we need one that has 175mm hold spacing and isnt going to be dangerous to passenger in a crash. It is interesting that P38s have the mount points there, but no handle!

    I like the idea of the A pillar. I wonder if the handles were fitted anywhere else in the world?
