Harness / subframe set-up's

[Nafoff]

i currently have sparco seats with custom sidemounts and subframes and OMP harnesses,

the custom sidemounts allow me to clip my inside harness on to the subframe base (on both seats). and the custom subframes currently have the slider on.

I now have some recaro's (seats, subframes and sidemounts), there is 2 problems with this...

1. i would have to source some sliders from the original seats as this is how the recaro subrames work.

2. i think i would need to sort another way of fixing the inner harnesses as the recaro sidemounts will not have the ability to clip/bolt to like the custom ones did.



all opinions are welcome, photo's would be great, mainly of the inner harness mount points

for the harness' issue, can you use eyelets bolted through the exhaust tunnel with spreader plates on the underside? this is what ive done. i found (in my seating postion) that where the original seats came out, i could use the rear fixing hole again rather than have to drill new holes

weve established it wont work talking on fb, but heres a pic for anyone who searches it

and on another subject we discussed just incase my seats go low

 

[Nafoff]

still debating this and what i will do, would love to get the seats lower and only use the sidemounts...

Can you not weld some lugs onto the Recaro subframe then re-spray to tart it up? I've just installed some Cobra subframes and sliders and they sit prety sweet

 

[Nafoff]

well i may aswell use my custom inners powdercoated if i done what you suggest meek... thats what i may look into

 

[Nafoff]

looks like i will be looking into some / a set of these

will then put a new hole in the exhaust tunnel and have these behind with the eyebolt through to that...still don't know whether the recaro seats and sidemounts will fit my custom subframes however

i have the same problem !

 

[JackJack]

Am i right in thinking the spreader plates need welding into the exhaust tunnel? Sorry for the stupid question.

 

[finch wxm]

I dont think so i just think these provide additional strength when bolted up

 

[Nafoff]

no need to weld them no...

 

[bomber]

I hope not, I've got 4 unwelded ones

Cool thanks mate if either of you have 5/6 point harnesses how have you mounted that part?
