Whichever has fuel
Why would you mount safety harnesses dangerously when you can just get an extra bar welded in to the cage??

Well I was hoping for a thread like this someday so I could post up and get some free abuse... obviously I wasn’t aware of this Daniel
I guess MOT’s don’t care about this then as long as they are ‘secure’ in their eyes?

Didn't Renault mount the R26R harnesses to the rear seatbelt holes

The rear seat is much higher up and the angle isn't as steep afaik

I miss the good old days where there was a weekly harness argument on here every time someone mounted them to their red eBay omp strut brace!

Is that a clio?

A mate of mine had one welded like that on his Ph1.

Is that right seat wonky enough

Yeah it was haha. Sorted it after we noticed in the pic.
This was years ago in Niall's brother's Ph1.

Haha, weight saving.
It was coated so it never rusted.

What’s it welded to?

3mm plate either side.
Same. Mine is a saloon car though not a hatch which is why we did it like that. I have harness bars built in to the main cage.

Coated in corrosion, can't get rust on top of rust?
Seem to remember it was etch primed, but never actually painted
This was the thicker wall roll cage tubing as well. You could have picked the car up with it probably

This thread has taken a turn for the better! Seeing as we're all chatting cages, and the OP has buggered off, does anyone know if its feasible to extend a SW Motorsport bolt in rear cage into a full cage? Or is it not cost effective?
Presumably the fact it would be a full cage and also bolt in is a bit of a waste of time, but I'm just throwing ideas about.

I was thinking about something like this because Im not going full cage and dont feel safe without a harness on track. Is this perfectly fine to do?
JamesBryan

It's perfectly strong enough.
You'll always get people saying don't do it, but if it's been welded properly I can't see there being any issue.

It's the same company who made her rear strut brace Kyle...
You say it like they hand deliver it while riding Aladdins carpet

100% no no and even more so with a reclining seat.
Get yourself a CG lock and leave harnesses for fixed buckets with either a suitable designated harness bar or roll cage.

The issue with harnesses and no cage is that in a rollover, where a 3 point ordinary seatbelt will allow your body to be forced over and towards the centre of the car (the shoulder with no seatbelt over it), harnesses with no cage means you'll be held nicely in your seat while your neck is broken.
That said, I think Clio's are pretty strong in rollovers aren't they? That's the thinking behind it.
Standard seatbelt + no cage = fine
Standard seatbelt + cage = death
Correctly mounted harness + cage = fine
Correctly mounted harness + no cage = death
Incorrectly mounted harness + anything = death
Correctly mounted harness, cage & Covid 19 = death
