Harneses... on standard seats..

[James Bushell]

Was just wondering on the above... as i have a nice set of Sparco 3" harneses at home...

Anyone done it... and had any problems, etc..?

 

[GeeUK]

No, but would look gay?

Plus, there wont be any harness holes in the seats?

 

[James Bushell]

HHmm, bit i suppose you could thread them through under the headrest.

Sounds like a Sunday morning plan

i put harnesses in my old metro with standard seats. didnt look to bad and i felt alot safer.

Say youve got harnesses fitted...

What stops the two shoulder straps (assuming youve got 4 points) slipping off of your shoulders and down the side of the seat? In bucket seats you get the guide holes at shoulder height to keep them in place...

 

[docter fox]

you could put the 2 straps between the poles for the headrest?

all sounds good but you need to think of mounting them, are you keeping the back seats?

The look ok on std seats, just daft when ppl put std seatbelts on with buckets.



U coudl do with a quick release buckle if u aint gna remove teh rear seats. a few eyebolts into the same bolt holes as ur rear mounting points and its job done.

Exactly.. I think this is a must do... Mounting should be easy on original eyelets..

If youve got them done up tight enough to be of any use...wouldnt the straps then make your neck red raw through rubbing?

What you could do is to cross them when mounted in the back. Infact you should do that nevertheless

It is a possibility.. well, ill see what happens..?!?!

 

[Adams_16v]

they are annoying on normal seats mate! dont fit properly! much better on buckets!

 

[James Bushell]

Unfortunately bucktes arent an option at the mo.. well, i may try them and see how i get on... i can always remove them..

 

[MarkCup]

I hope they do work James, Ill possibly be after a set if they work ok for you...let us know.
