Does anyone know the rules reagrding shoulder harness termination for DE?
We are building a 914 track car and it has a cage (CFR weld in) in it, that ties into the firewall behind the seats in three places across the firewall. Can we terminate the shoulder harnesses at the roll cage, or does it need to be terminated at the firewall and looped over (through steel keeper loops)the cage horizontal bar at the firewall? Any assistance would be helpful! Thanks |

Thanks Again,
Yes, we intend to add the steel loops to the Cage cross bar, and yes, it has been painted, but that is the easy stuff! Now, to figure out how to mount the seats to get enough flexibility in height for both drivers to fit (5" height delta). |

Now, to figure out how to mount the seats to get enough flexibility in height for both drivers to fit (5" height delta). Custom aluminum sidepanels with a row of mounting holes work OK. You'd still have to undo 4 bolts move the seat up and bolt it back on, but it'll give you 5" to work with. If one of you is over about 6'1", consider removing the cross brace on the floor and mounting the sidepanels directly to the floor. That'll give you another 2" of headroom for the larger driver.
