Pulsar Parcel Bar

The Pulsar NX came with a parcel bar across the back seats whose purpose was to keep items stowed in the back from flying into the front of the car when stopping.  This bar was missing from our Pulsar.  In fact, I had a hard time finding an image of tis parcel back large enough for me determine if I could recreate it.  I finally found a listing for another 1988 Pulsar that still had the parcel bar intact.  

Using this photo I created a couple of designs.  The first was a bit off.

But the second design looked close enough to move forward.  The design leverages a chrome shower curtain rod as the bar across the mounts.

I used stainless steel cap bolts to attach the mounts to the seat backs.

I'm quite happy with the way this turned out and unless you're close enough to see the layer lines in the mounts you'd never know this wasn't the factory parcel bar.
