3 Point Harness Fitting

[johnbear]

Where do you locate the fixing points when fitting 3 or 4 point harness?

[Johno]

Presuming you have a roll bar fitted ?

You use the roll bar for the shoulder straps and the seat belt anchor points for the lap belts.

You can sometimes keep the original inertia belt there as well for road driving, which some people prefer for the additional movement.

Or, if no roll bar is fitted if you have the later spec chassis there are two mounts under the parcel shelf which are specifically for harness eye bolts (or rollbar mountings).

I don't think that is an accurate difference BTW. I have a very early car and the chassis has those mounts. It may be only in the context of the Griff pre-cat cars chassis?

Don't fit a harness if you haven't got a roll bar. The harness holds you rigidly in harms way in the event of a roll.

To fit a Harness without a roll bar is complete Madness imho

OK - Who makes a roll bar then and how much do they cost?

Saw an Alfa on it's roof the other day (on a striaght road!!) so made me think.

There is a company that makes and sells them on ebay.
