Jetpilot Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I would imagine you still bolt in your std seat belt mount to hold this in place. Would it not be easier to weld in eyelets for harness buckles rather than worry about position to wrap around? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott TMN Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Is it sad I just want one as it looks cool? Not going to run harnesses but would love the look of that covered in alcantara If it bolts to the OEM seat belt mounts does that not mean that you have to run bucket seats and harnesses? You still can use the STD seatbelts, this uses the same fixing point, but goes behind, like a big washer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott TMN Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Right guys, sorry for the belated update. Reason being I dont come bearing the updated pictures just yet. Reason being on fitting back with all the plastics in place, grant wasnt 100% happy and wanted to make a few tweeks to his jig before hand, so he has the one he modified again on my last visit, and I shall return after that. To stop one side of the harness from sliding down, he has added 'tabs'? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott TMN Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Look good work still a shame harness won't work with it How comes? One strap is held by this lug, the other is the other side of the x bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceejay29 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Looks good! Reference the harness; one is located to the left of the 45 degree abutment and the other to the right? Each held in place by welded lugs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Looks good. Do think it needs a little work though if you want it to be properly functional and follow regs with regard to harness mounting angles etc. I know your not racing but I would want it to follow those regs as close as possible for safety. Difficult to judge from the pics but it does look like the bar sits a bit high above your shoulders, so the harness wouldnt be horizontal. http://wrxatlanta.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35754 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each held in place by welded lugs? Yes thats righ matet, looking at the last picture, one strap being to the left of the 45 bit, and the other on the angle, held in place by the lug Looks good.

StevoD Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) not sure how your going to fit a harness where you have a large steel pipe in the way , as harness attach directly straight behind the seat as below if there at an angle chances are your going to slice your neck open in a crash Edited March 30, 2015 by StevoD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevoD Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 maybe its the image but looks like your going to be nearly 70-80 degrees not 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Where do the harnesses mount/strap on to? As it looks like they can just slide about. #teamtarmac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott TMN Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 maybe its the image but looks like your going to be nearly 70-80 degrees not 20 70-80? Looking at the above picture (the MSA standards one). Side view of the seat, if the bar was exactly horizontal in the middle of the preffered range, that is 0 degrees yes? Well this example is slightly higher than the 0 mark, but within the 10 degrees tolerance, and still in the preffered range. Like your picture posted is not horizontal either, but still within the 10 degree tolerance but the other way. Where do the harnesses mount/strap on to? As it looks like they can just slide about. They would wrap around the bar. They will not slide about as the x part will secure stop one sliding, and the other strap is stopped by the lug near the window side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I guess it's just hard to say from those photo's (for me that is) as all the ones I've seen have a little bar for the straps to stop movement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilogikal1 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 They would wrap around the bar. They will not slide about as the x part will secure stop one sliding, and the other strap is stopped by the lug near the window side I've probably just misunderstood this as I'm finding it a bit difficult to picture in my head but what's to stop them sliding in the opposite direction(s)?

RobPhoboS Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 It could easily have those little holder things welded on like the photo's grundy popped up. Looks like it's nearly there, and more solid than those ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott TMN Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Right guys, I have spoke to grant. The reason he hasn't included the little loop things is simply because it doesn't need them. When the harness is done up properly it will not slide along the bar away from you. But obviously it seems most prefer the loops to be there, he said he can add those in at no extra cost. He may weld them under neath however to help with the aesthetics 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceejay29 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 With reference to aesthetics; what is the plate for projecting to the rear when looking at the pillar/seatbelt fixing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
