New arrival. Exige 410 Sport
Discussion
Good afternoon gentlemen, in 2 days my new Exige 430 cup arrives, I'm looking forward to seeing it!
I want to put harnesses on it and I know that the people of "seriuslotus" sell some very easy to put on, but they tell me that because of the carbon seats it has a certain problem, and I don't know if there is any other easy-to-install model.
sure you know and you can help me.
greetings to all.

Exactly They says this:
"Hello
The bar will fit the car but you can only use the drivers side harnesses. Due tochanges in the carbon seat hole spacing the passenger seat harness gets twisted as it passes through the seat
Hope this helps
Regards"
Let me know
The bar I've fitted is a seriously lotus bar and I'm told it fits fine with the carbon seats (same seats in 410 as 430). Hopefully my harnesses will arrive soon and I'll be able to test the theory out.

Second image is the passenger side. I've only placed the seats in there for the purposes of this post, but it does appear that the hoop on the bar does make this hole a bit more obstructed than the drivers side. I think there's still enough room for the Schroth 3" straps but we'll only know when we fit them.
I asked Dave of Seriously Lotus directly if there was any issues and he said no. If there is an issue when it comes to fitting the harnesses then I'll certainly put it to him.

Just out of curiosity, why does this only affect the passenger side? Is the hoop offset to one side?I would have assumed that everything is symmetrical and both sides would be affected the same.

The seats are not positioned in the same place each side due to the non-central position of the tunnel / handbrake. The tunnel sits more toward the passenger side by an inch or so which pushes the passenger seat almost up against the sill.
Ah, that’s makes sense then. Thank you. I assume my S2 Elise was the same, but I’d never noticed. Not the sort of thing you necessarily pay attention to unless you were doing something that involved something taking the seats out.
