Harness Location

Discussion in 'Electrical & Interior - Security, ICE, Wiring Loom' started by concept, May 22, 2021.

  1. Hi all, just got a 225 with a few mods ready for track use, but im not sure the harnesses are in the correct position.

    they are currently bolted directly down to the floor beneath the seats but the car has a cage fitted so wondering if I can fit them to that. It’s bolted in if that makes a difference? 877F3A7D-4933-4FF8-B61A-2693C5674892.jpeg 877F3A7D-4933-4FF8-B61A-2693C5674892.jpeg

    NO NO NO and NO :fearscream::fearscream::fearscream:

    You need to at least remove the bench bit and use the holes that the original seats and buckles were bolted to, you will need to get some eye bolts to screw in, think there m10.

    But the best way is to fit a cage or half cage and wrap the belts around the bars on that.

  3. Do not use as they are

    There are harness bars on the cage behind the seats - use those

    Have a look at the Schroth videos they demonstrate how to wrap the harness around the cage tube (simple when you know how)

  4. Thanks my man, will do
     
  5. I have a boxed standard car that I use as a daily driver with the kids.

    Are there any removable harnesses of some sort, that would easily clip in the isofix mounts in the rear seats when used on track?
     
  6. yes - use Schroth B23 brackets
     
  7. Are you sure those 23s work this way?

  8. Sorry, the B23 won’t fit on the isofix bits themselves but you can use the seat belt buckle bolts

    I’m guessing the isofix points are designed for a child at a few kgs not an adult
     
  9. If you haven't taken the advice yet, do not use those harnesses, if you have a crash, you will be crushed downwards with the impact, forwards, backwards or sideways.

    There is a minimum angle required for harnesses to work safely. I'm not sure what it is, but I'd get some advice if not sure.
