Getting thrown about like a rag doll!!

[Alexdaredevilz]

If I drive on a fast pace, im sliding around to the extent where im kissing the window, and cant judge the car properly

Has any one fitted a 3/5 point harness to the standard Chim seats?

Got any pics, where did you mount it e.t.c?

Thanks

Alex

Yes, but bear in mind that without a rollover bar your head will become detached if you roll it.

The diff cage has threaded holes in the top; these can be accessed at the back of the rear parcel shelf for your rear mounting. The other mounting points just pick up from the existing three point belt fixings

Yiou need one of those seat belt buckle locks like I use on the Skoda for wet T/D's.

Can't remember the name at the moment.

Harness's without a rollbar are a no-no!.

CG Locks, there's been at least one PH group buy ('cos I ran it). Great at keeping you bum in place and it allows you to escape the dreaded rollover. They don't fit the two pass buckle very well, as fitted to TVR's. I have a convesion method that sorts this, alternatively you can fit them upside down to make them work

Edit, so this just tightens up my seat belt?

[haircutmike]

Exactly!

....and prevents it from loosening. It locks the lap strap with a ratchet mechanism.

So when the belt 'locks' this will keep it locked so to speak? with out having to keep pressure on the belt

No, it only locks the lap strap, in a Chim you shouldn't lock the top strap, no rollover protection so you need to allow your head to move into the cabin. Seat of the pants driving and all that, you need you bum to stay put so that you can sense the car.

I want one of those............


CG Lock looks good too

[FlipFlopGriff]

Got 6 of the CG locks now and they are good, even used one in the company car for 3 years. Helps reduce the lower back sliding around so well worth the money. Even a couple of work colleagues have them too.
Got all mine via Car Limits, £40 each delivered.

The CG-Lock does not fit the Chimaera as you say. And the bodge / workaround ideas didn't do it for me plus I found it was digging into my side so I returned it.

[haircutmike]

Alex, you can fit mine and test if you want.

Good tuitorial!

Don't suppose you could run in your garage and test it on yours?
