I Have been given a harness by my uncle who is a bit of a rally driver in his spare time. He mentioned that i could bolt them to existing rear seatbelt points or the best option is to bolt a metal plate and eye centeral to the seat. Has anyone done this and where did you get the plate from? This is to be done to an s13.
I thought the route most people go is to bolt the harness onto the hole that the seat belt latch uses in the rear. Or use of the rear strutbrace for an anchor.
dont think the strutbrace is designed to take that kinda force in that direction. And as the seatbelt point is not centeral to the front seat it can twist the harness
i know the seatbelt point is common, but dont want a twisty harness. Twisty boxershorts is enough of a nightmare
I've bolted mine in using the rear seatbelt mounting points and a bar on my roll cage behind my shoulders to pull backwards rather than down.
is it a 3 point of 4 point harness? (3 point has one belt going to the back, 4 point has 2) For the back belts you can use the existing rear seatbelt mountings, but ideally you need it to be a 4 point. With a 3 point, as you have no central mounting, it'd be off to one side which is a bad thing.... If you have a 4 point, remember that you want to cross the rear belts over as they go back (left belt to right hand mounting and vice versa) For the front, you can use the existing front seatbelt mounts, no problem
It seems to have been covered on sxoc recently http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=114923 A good read. I think mine is gonna be a 3 point
I'm sure I've used the hole for the seat mount on that side and bolted that corner of the seat in using the eye bolt, then attached the belt to the eye. Jobs a goodun
yeah, my custom frames that bolt through the floor, use one of the original seat mounts, and that happens to be the transmission tunnel side , but I still manage to mount both the seat frame and the harness through that bolt, so it's not to big a deal
