Making me want seats and a cage now! lol

Everyone is getting them lololol

 

[C.slicker]

I am confused.

People say you need a cage to fit harnesses correctly or else they will crush you in an accident...

Yet in this pic your harnesses are mounted in the same position as mine, and I don't have a cage?

 

[davejm123]

[Rhino172]

its only a temporary measure for brands on monday. a harness bar will be welded in soon

 

[C.slicker]

Oh right ok I see.

 

[matty w]

i might be wrong but i cant see that cage doing a lot as it dont run to the windscreen and no front uprights where a car normally caves in in a accident

yes, ure wrong

 

[Peperami]

Lol, think about the cage on a caterham, or porsche gt3 matty...

Im still well tempted by this steve. Where did you mount the lap belt of the harness to? Taking into account the cage bolts into the seat belt mounting at the front?

 

[S22 JGS]

you have to drill the floor to mount the eye bolts.

 

[Peperami]

Same as steves? Cool

 

[S22 JGS]

yeh

 

[MarkCup]

Nice...how much do those seats weigh?

 

[S22 JGS]

not alot.... something like 7kg i think

 

[Big Iain]

cage looks really good fitted I wish I got one myself now!!

 

[172blue]

Carbon strut brace, beauuuuutiful.

 

[MarkCup]

not alot.... something like 7kg i think

Anyone know how much pauper Cup seats weigh?

Whats the weight saving going to a set of something like this?

 

[Peperami]

Roughly 20kg each i think mate.

 

[Steviant]

Same as steves? Cool

He's even got the same name as me.

Glad you like my handywork Steve.

 

[MarkCup]

Ooh, 26 kgs to be had then.

That'll take me from 185 to 190 bhp/tonne then :approve:
