noble m12 gto harness

[no-worries88]

Hello people of ph land, tonight I have collected SWMBO's new toy,which as you may have guessed is an m12. Brilliant condition,only thing is the Willans harness on the drivers side is a bit 'minging' (frayed,bit ripped) so was thinking of replacing them before I give it her (the car I mean) the question I have is would I have to replace with another Willans harness? Or are harnesses a universal fit? Sorry if its a stupid question,but as this is a gift for her that she knows nothing about,I want to get it just right. Many thanks.

Yep, any make of 4 point harness should do the same job...

They are the same spec. as a Caterham so there any number of people who can supply them.

Unless she intends to track it I doubt it'll ever get used anyway.

Hi Mark , welcome to the gang , I've just been through this and you need to get single seater harnesses for a bulkhead fixing , also be aware the bottom fixing bolts on the Noble are bigger than std so you will need to modifie them. . Tux

I tried wearing it once on the road and that was it. It's far to restrictive for road driving I found.

I've taken it to the valet this morning,had a go with the harness on,think ill leave it as it is for the amount of time it'll get used. Thanks for all your input though people.

Fippin heck .... your wife is one lucky lady. And you must be one lucky man if that is the type of car she wants!

Well.... She gave me the strict instruction that it had to be blue,and sound nice. My first thoughts were an R32 or an RS4, but then I opted for the Noble....... A green one she either likes it,or I keep it haha

Fairly new to the forums. I assume you are saying that the holes in the harness are too small for the bolts ? Do you know what size the fixing bolts are ? Do I simply undo the bolt as the attaching nut is anchored or do I need to gain access to the nut ? Thanks in advance

The nuts in the tunnel are welded in place so just a case of undoing the bolt , sorry cannot remenmber size .

Thanks very much. Are the top mounting nuts held captive too.
