Racing Harnesses

Has anyone put Racing Harnesses in a Trophy yet? I was thinking of getting some in but want to see how it looks and what it's like first.

Yeah, Slugger has put them in his.

Looks good I think, something I plan to do over the winter for trackday use.

Fantastic. I must get me some of those!!! Looks like the way its done, you can put the seats back and still use the regular seat belts as normal.

In that pic it looks as though the seats are just folded forward rather then taken out

Thats what I mean, physically push them back

Not put them back in. My bad semantics, sorry.

That pic from Sluggers car looks great! I'll be getting that done when i finnish the xmas overtime!

Slugger · Nov 9, 2005

Thanks chaps

Yes the rear seats are just folded down. We still use the normal seat belts for road use.

Are racing harnessessesssess road legal? You say you keep the normal ones for road use is, is that because its easier to put on and off or legality?

hyb · Nov 10, 2005

I would imagine practicality and ease of use. Not a problem with legality, think of all the supercars that have them as standard

Slugger · Nov 10, 2005

Yep just practicality. Being able to move forward is useful on the road to see round junctions and also to reach the glovebox, sunglasses, radio etc. Harnesses a pain in the ass from that point of view

OK, so I've pulled the Luke belts off the passenger seat in my Fiesta (I'm told they're expendable).
But where to attach them in a trophy?
Drill holes and fit rings?
Or the baby seat ring things look a tad flimsy?
Can't see the attachment points in the photo with red belts...
My Lukes are blue, perhaps I should just put them back in the Ford...

Slugger · Nov 15, 2005

Check the link in my previous post. I drilled holes and put eye bolts in.

Attila · Nov 15, 2005

Slugger,
Thanks for reply.
All Huns know what links/chains are for...
Drill out all four eye bolts?
Missing all critical life supporting bits (nerves, brakestuff etc.)?
You must have considered adding eyes to existing belt fixings?
Where to drill info would be welcome.
