6 point harness........
Discussion
just got me a sabelt 6 point Fia harness..........which is better than the 2 inch straped piece of junk i use now.......its a 75 MM BTCC number.
BIG question, where should i weld the mounting points for the 2 crotch straps.
PS, its a vauxhall corsa, with a full rear turret to front turret cage.....
any advice welcome.
i was just going to measure 10CM out from the most forward point of the seat, and weld the mounts to form a triangle to the centre point on the seat base. aye or nae

From the way you are describing it I'm wondering if you have a seat with the required hole down through the seat just in front of the 'Crown Jewels'.
If you do not have this then 6 point is of no use to you.
If you do have said hole then I would expect the belts to secure beneath or behind the hole to a reinforced section of the floor. These two straps are just to stop you sliding out under the other straps so I would not expect them to have to go back to the chassis or cage but check your race class regulations.

ie the same points im using for the side straps ?
Yes.In effect, the lap strap and crutch strap form a loop around each thigh which just happens to include the base of the seat. I've never seen them anchored directly under the seat, no doubt it's been done but it isn't normal.
cool, so there is 2 ways of mounting them, one using the holes in the seat, if there ( which they aint) and the other with me effectivly sitting on the crotch strap, with it going back through the side holes....
NICE ONE

No no no, the crutch strap never goes over the seat it always goes down through the seat. If you don't have the hole for it to go through, you can't use it. Gassing Station | Suspension, Brakes & Tyres | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
