Harness Help for Tasmin Race car.
Discussion
Open to debate... On the loop v eye. to to the eye you need to weld a plate onto the cage which gives you 2 more possible failure points... Looping the harness over the cage, provided its at the right height could be better...
If you havent got the eyes already I'd go for looping the straps over the cage

Fitting the eyes to the cage can be a pain. You need to drill through the roll cage then slot an internally threaded tube through the drilled hole and weld all the way round to maintain the strength of the roll cage. This is made even moe difficult if you need to do this through a diagonal bar.
If the eyes aren't in situ, which they aren't in your case, and you have a horizontal bar then you'd be far better off fitting a wrap around style harness. Most rally cars and BTCC cars use this method of mounting. I could be wrong, but I think you can simply unthread the snap-on fastening and loop the harness round the tube before re threading the buckle to secure it.
