Do you need to harnesses to run through the seat like a bucket seat or not?
We need to fit some belts to that funny buggy thing Im off to collect but not sure the best way to fit them (to seats/frame etc)Tim

the top strap(s) should run horizintally to a bracket on a roll cage if possible... not vertically down the back of the seat... otherwise when you crash, your shoulders get pushed downwards and crush your back!

The horizontal bar on cage method is much better then mounting to the floor, though I have had 2 cars with them mounted to the floor. If you do mount harnesses from the floor - as Rick says, always weld plates underneath and try to mount them far back from the seats so that they are not vertical up and then down.
Is the bar you are going to weld in part of a rollcage?
I'm in the process of trying to sort the 6 point harnesses for our 205 at the moment!Last edited by Snoop; 2 October 2005, 18:25.Real trucks don't have spark plugs
