Harness bolt fixing brackets (images)

[ferrisbueller]

Similar note to my other thread on harnesses. I'm looking for some angle brackets to fix to seat belt fixing points and then affix eye bolts to for clip on harnesses.

Not seen this before.


try the usualls :

Merlin Motorsport
Demon Tweeks



or look into getting some made up.



Looks a little suspect to me it should be a strengthened and braced mounting point I.e directly into a seatbelt mounts or seat mount etc rather than what appears to be a bent piece of metal that extends a catch eye.

That's from Mark Fish apparently and is fixed to a seat belt mount. Should be OK, no?

Would be fine I suppose just doesn't look inpiring.

Why don't you get hold of Mark Fish then ?

I'm waiting to hear back.

In the meantime I thought I'd see if anyone else knew.

not an expert in any way, but there is no way i'd trust that!

could you not just use eyebolts to secure the seatbelt?

that looks properly dodgy to me, surely it'd just bend under stress.
Just buy some fia approved 3mm mounting plates, drill a 12mm holes in your floor, rivet the plate in pace n screw the eye bolt in, simple as!
I know it seems a bit drastic drilling holes in your floor, but, god forbid, if you're hanging from your harness upsidedown in your car i dont think youll regret it!

^^That. eyebolts are the ususal way to incorporate both a harness and a seat belt

That is not even a tough test; "T" boning a stationary car when you are flat out will really test it's strength and that design does not look right.

Taking tensile load down the bolt is what you need.

Rivet the plate as suggested elsewhere.
