peter.h 0 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 hey, im wanting to get some harness seat belts for my car, i want to loop them round my rear stress bar but all harnesses iv looked at have fixing brackets on the end for bolting down. Does anyone know what type of harnesses i need? Or is there a way of taking the fixing bracket of the end so i can loop it round?HELP!! Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 How is rear stress bar attached? If just bolted on then i wouldnt put harnesess onto that at all, just not safe. Use original seat belt holes.If the rear bar is put in proerly and part of a proper cage then yes fine Link to post Share on other sites

peter.h 0 Posted January 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 as iv seen in other cars the bar is bolted to the turrets. so it should be quite strong. but i can see why the fixing points could be safer. thanks for the link ill check it out. Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Think of it if you have a front on crash. The amount of force involved could rip out the bolt fixings and send you straight thro' the windscreen.......It may never happen, but i wouldnt want to take the risk.The seat belt mounting points are strengthend at the factory, so are safe and secure Link to post Share on other sites
peter.h 0 Posted January 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Ye i know exactly what u mean, so i could just use the bolt holes that were used as the rear seat belt mounts? also im going to use 4 point harnesses so can the two shoulder straps be fixed together on one mounting point? because there isn't enough fixing holes is there? :S Sorry for all the questions. I appretiate the help. Link to post Share on other sites
cabrioman 6 Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 i had to drill new holes and use fixing plate, a nut welded to a square plate that goes on the outside of the hole ... Link to post Share on other sites
