Vixen harness question

[anonymous-user]

Three point harness - the rear mount central behind each seat would be on the 'deck' a bit in front of the fuel tank well in the body. Is this deck area strong enough with an MSA type backing plate - Anyone fitted one in this way?

Thanks Hans. This is what I'm thinking of - the angle all works OK. I'm interested if anyone has done it this way on a Vixen...

The original anchor points were in the top of the wheel arches. That would work OK if the tube ends were fabricated to suit provided you don't mind lugging the spare over a scaffold tube.

I'm investigating the flat between the rear shock mounts - that would work very well with a bit of stainless angle and everything seems to line up.

Ok will do

I've used a length of 40 x 20 x 3mm stainless angle, with the 40mm section horizontal and and an extended leg welded onto the vertical 20mm section at each end to pick up the rear unused shock mount. This is in exactly the right position under the rear deck for the eye bolts to miss the spare wheel. Seems to work fine. I went for s/s as I had it under the bench and being angle it is easily strong enough. I've trial fitted but will probably weld on a couple of captive nuts for the eye bolts to make it easier to undo the eye bolts.

All done and worked very well just needs the seat side bolts moving further apart and QED.
