I'm wanting to fit 4-point harnesses for track days to my recently bought Elise S1 which already has an Eliseparts harness bar with the 4 threaded holes (I don't want a wrap around type).
Any suggestions for what make and model is best and where to buy them?

Personally I would get either the:

Schroth Profi II FE ASM (OE on various lotus cars with harnesses) - MoT compliant as well.

or

Willans Silverstone Harnesses - have a slightly better quick release on the shoulder straps which is helpful if you use the car on the road.

Has the car got seats with slots in or standard seats? If the latter you should ideally budget for new seats as well unless you are tall and have wide shoulders wink

true enough but not such an issue with bolted straps as opposed to loop round ones....

Is this because the bolted ones cant move about where the looped ones need the seat slots to keep them in position?

I have the Schroth Profi II FE ASM harness in my exige.
It's Well thought out and just releases the RHS lap and shoulder so you don't have to Pfaff around too much getting in and out, If you want to release all the buckles you just press the button a little harder.
Definately the better harness over the Willans IMO.
