Airbags and pre-tensioners

[Kelv]

As I've now removed all of the airbags from my 'in progress' track car build, and the fact that re standard seats with pre-tensioners have also been binned.

Has anyone else considered, or actually removed the wiring and associated control unit for these items?
Just curious how far back the loom side of it all went and how far you cut into it?

I'm already in the process of pulling the loom apart for relocating many electrical items so it's no big issue, but just wondered of anyone else had removed it all?

Cheers

Nevermind, all out and gone now.
Best part of another kg shed

Also pulled out all of the sound deadening from behind the dash aswell while I was at it, plus a few otter little bits not needed within the dash, another 3.5kg gone aswell.

I'll progress with the diet in the morning

There quite a few posts about it on here, just need to be patient when searching through the projects pal, keep you entertained for a few hours.

I'll have to have a peeky now I'm back indoors

I want it as light as possible, hopefully

All I have done for now is hid the wires behind the dash. Too many stories of people ending up with cars that dont run for me to start chopping stuff out

Mines all gone now, drove it back into the garage afterwards aswell.

I guess being an electrical engineer on the railway made me do it logically and just work one wire back at a time and take my time, nothing to it really.

Yeah I guess that helps! I use mine daily so would be gutted if it didnt start again.

I am going to tackle the loom next year though

Ah I see, I wouldnt be doing it if it was my daily car either.

This is to be an out and out track car, it's the only reason I bought it
