Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*

Fitted a Cobra Evolution seat, had to adapt it to work with the runners as me and bazzon drive in different positions. Sits abit too high for my liking so may need to bolt it to the floor and either me and bazzon suffer with driving position. Also have a 3 inch 5 piece harness to fit but waiting for eye bolts so currently have my 3 point sabelt harness fitted.

Looks smart...

How did the "seat adaptation" work out?!

well the new seat fits on the old runners, so well
such a b*****d to get in and out of lol!

 

[Barron]

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*

decided i wasnt happy with seat height so me and bazzon compromised on a fixed seating position. got my fabricator to cut the renault horizontal frames out and refit them further back and level. This means my sideframes just sit ontop of the frames. Meaning a low seat

floor will ofc be getting repainted

 

[Nafoff]

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*

seat is gorgeous...good handy work

 

[geesus69]

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*

aye that's a damn good looking seat

 

[Gray]

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*

You make it look so easy haha

Did you drill new holes in the horizontal frames, or do they bolt in existing ones?!

 

[powey]

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*

who has lost out now or did you meet half way between 2 seating positions?

 

[Barron]

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*

who has lost out now or did you meet half way between 2 seating positions?

further back than i would normally drive and further forward than bazzon would normally drive

 

[Bazzon]

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*

Why we never do things the easy way i will never know.

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*

Cage is only a bolt in yes? So you're harnesses are wrapped around a bolt in cage, at a stupidly steep angle? Great!

 

[Barron]

thats what i thought too, the guy who has done it for me races grass track cars and he seemed to think it would be fine

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*

Use your own noggin!!

 

[Barron]

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*

Geesus....just a bit off topic, Whiteley says do the cup racer wheels fit onto the mk1 valver boss straight fit? lol

you too

anyway, i understand they have to be as horizontal as possible but where else can they really be attached apart from cage or the floor next to the fuel tank? (meaning more angle)

 

[geesus69]

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*

my harnesses are attached to a bolt in rear brace

i showed the pic to mark fish and he said the brace was a standard fit from renaultsport and all the race teams used to use it, cant be much difference to what you have there barron

although mine arent at that much of an angle, that i would be a bit concerned with!

 

[Whiteley]

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*

Yep it was more the angle i'd be concerned about. Im sure the diagram that Edde posted about 7 billion times is still floating about. And I don't have the wheel sat in front of me yet, smart arse!

 

[geesus69]

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*

aww feel the love lmao

 

[Whiteley]

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*

aww feel the love lmao

:race:

 

[Hutchie]

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*

sounds like there is a use for a rear strut brace

 

[Barron]

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*

the angle is no more than this one

 

[Barron]

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*

or

 

[geesus69]

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*

yeh but they are at too much of an angle still according to the diagram whitely is talking about

you just run the risk of being 2 inches shorter (or paralysed) if you have a big off :S

 

[Barron]

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*

the only way to get a perfect fit harness is to have a full cage with a horizontal harness bar. I dont have that so no other choice. The way mine is, is no more dangerous than those two posted above though?

[Whiteley]

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*

Doesnt make it any more correct. And being a track car, the chances of you crashing are a fair amount greater. Just thinking of your safety, not going to affect me!

na i understand that mate, just what else can i do in the situation apart from fitting a full cage?
