PH meets around Merseyside/Lancs
Discussion
I'm hoping to make it this Wed, but am playing a football match first in St Helens, so I think the earliest I can make it would be about 7:40, so if you are all going for a drive is there a particluar part of the car park you normally park in on your return, never been in the Wheatsheaf before.
Will be good to see some more of you PH guys. Hoping to leave for a short run out about 7.45
For those coming later or not wanting to try and keep up with Westfields over the twisty roads :-) the carpark at the back of The Wheatsheaf is where we park up. Grab yerselves a beer and we'll be back before too long

CGlock: Tried to watch vid on site... indicated 4 min wait... Enough time for me to tell you my belt is cushioned by mickey mouse foam which is fine on collarbone and that the hood on the Griff intereferes with tension anyway when it is fully retracted but the belt works fine when brakes are applied and comfort i.e reassuring tension, is restored.
EDIT: saw the vid. I'd need that in slomo several times before I felt able to fit properly. And are those screws you put on with the allen key safe at all speeds?

Hi,
The CG-Lock doesn't interfere with the safety of the seatbelt, so if it did 'fail' or break (not happened and is made with high quality steel components), the seatbelt would work the same. The screws are not taking any of the strain during driving... the main use is to assist the initial buckling up. Once buckled up, all the tension is through the seatbelt tongue. Indeed, we have an 'INSTRUCTOR VERSION@ CG-Lock that has no screws at all... just hold the whole device in place whilst buckling up and tensioning and it 'stays put'.
See the many professional driver reviews and customer testimonials... as Anthony Dunn (top ARDS instructor) says "for anyone not wearing a race harness, the CG-Lock is a must-have".
Advanced driving techniques such as left foot braking, cannot be performed with a regular seatbelt as the left leg is 'bracing' during hard cornering... effectively making it useless to use on the pedals. Pentti Airikkala, the 'inventor' of left foot braking, recommends the CG-Lock to all his students as with it tightened, one can left foot brake as with a full race harness.
Hope this helps!
See you at MPH 06 at NEC I hope!
