[Davrianman]

Keith, David, Deadscoob and Wayne, you have PM...

Wayne - 2
Deadscoob - 4

Mart

[Crazy of Cookham]

Set of 4 please

Brian

[Davrianman]

OK Brian,

Are you at the FOD or do you want me to post?

Mart

[GTWayne]

Hello Martin, I have changed my mind and would now like 4 (the 2 I had previously requested and the 2 spares you mention will do nicely ). I will be at the FoD so I would say an exchange is looking keen , see you there

[Crazy of Cookham]

Hi Mart

Plan to be at FOD

[Davrianman]

Hi Chaps,

I have 2 sets of washers left if anyone is interested? They have turned out very nice, CNC machined. Let me know if you would like a set. £35 for four with £5 postage. Just to clarify, they are for the four attachment eyes through the floor when using 6 point harnesses.

Cheers,

Mart

Mart, I sent you a PM yersterday so one set of 4 are MINE (I hope!)!

I missed the open day!

I had got it in my head it was in a couple of weeks time!

Age huh!

Anyhow, I did want to meet and I did want your washers! BUM!


Can you mail me back?



Cheers

Keith

Make your mind up Keith, one or the other

But seriously Keith, your presence was missed ( by me anyway )
Loads of grub went begging too, which is never good

Good to know you are keeping a beady on me...Oh Dark and Mysterious One!

Sorry I missed witnessing your latest lunchtime feat.. a sight I am told to behold!

I can't believe I forgot..but then ...errr ...what was I saying?


Yo - Bruv!

I've seen a number of different solutions for creating an attach point on the floor to anchor the crotch straps to. Is there a compelling reason though not to take the 2 straps from a six point back to the lap belt anchors on either side of the seat?

Perhaps I am an idiot but why are the mounting points for the crutch straps behind the seats?

I can imagine that the straps have to be attatched to a place which is reinforced and not just with a bolt through the floor. So the attachement to the side straps seems ideal.

Bolts through the floor are perfectly adequate for the crutch straps. Use the diagram in the factory build manual for the exact position of these (and the seat runners)

Measure 3 times, drill once - and the position of the seats will then be bang on.

Yeah I have they bolt hole positions but nobody answered my first question. Why do they have to be attached behind the seats? Just interested to know.

Not fitted a set so just guessing that maybe there is an excess of belt length to loose or the adjuster is at the fixing point so has to be somewhere you can get at.

[spatz]

if you do like me installing them just underneath the seat you cannot move the seat any longer towards the front.........so
2 more unnecessary holes in the car. I will now intall them in the back as suggested by the factory manual......

[MarkWebb]

Ok Spatz so you are saying that there is not enough clearance under the seat for the fixing points so put them at the back further back than the seat can go. I get it
I am about to order new belts because my lap strap adjusters are totally inaccessible down the outside of the seat. My adjuster buckles are 5 inches from the body attachment bits. Can anybody give me the dimension from body mount point to adjustment buckle on their belts please.

On my Sabelt four point the adjuster is part of the lap belt and is 7" from the centre of the buckle. There is then 11" from the adjuster to the chassis mount.

For some reason I can't PM, but are these washers still available?

I'd be interested to take a full set for the car, times two. So 24 pieces all up.
