You're in luck then.

My car is currently with RP getting the Russ and Brendan treatment for a few little enhancement ideas of my own
I wanted them to do and some very cool ones Russ suggested.

Feel free to look around it and Don's one which is also there.
You are such a tease !!!
I know, I'm horrible! hehe
Mike, I should have my Sag back my end of March, so I'll show you the stuff I've had done to it when we go to the Morgan Factory visit. I'm planning on taking the Sag to that unless she is getting prep'ed for Chatsworth.

following on from my thread about a 4 point harness, I thought I`d put the final result on here as it is the cars latest mod.

fitted 4 point Sabelt harness`s,


I made up a harness bar at work that bolts to the seat belt mounting points on the roll bar, the plate that bolts to the car is bolted to the tube, the tube has a 6mm thk plate welded on either end, this is tapped to take 2 countersunk screws, the reason for this is so that when it goes up to DC Trim they can cover the tube in leather to match the interior of the car, then screw the mounting plates back in place, so the only metal on show will be the mounting plates themselves.
it also means the harness tube is mounted about 40mm lower giving more visibility in the rear view mirror, plus the shoulder belts of the harness don`t rub on the underside of the top of the seat headrest, as I`m no 6ft + chaphehe




apologies for the reflection, using a flash in the garage was worse!


the bottom anchor plates that bolt to either side of the seat fitted ok on top of the existing seatbelt mounts, bolt lengths were ample, although the webbing/straps need to be removed and refitted so as to make the plate face in the opposite direction, the plates have a bend in them which is there to keep the strap away from the bodywork so it is free to move,and adjust when the plate is bolted in place, I assume most harness are bolted to the chassis or body of a car which would require the plates to face inwards, as the tvr seat belts are mounted on the seat itself, then these plates need to face outwards.
a short explanation in case anyone wants to do this themselves

that is looking good, some people do mount it behind the seats very low on the chassis, but then say,
in case of a heavy accident,
the belt would try to pull very hard down @shoulder hight , it will rip your schoulder bones so to speak...not good me thinks.

Proper floor tray?

Underside of a Sag must drag quite a bit.

longer side pipes so when you miss some pedestrians you still can tackle them? ;-)
