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 |

I used the eye bolts supplied by Schroth in the stock holes. They are reinforced and in the correct location geometry-wise.

I used the eye bolts supplied by Schroth in the stock holes. They are reinforced and in the correct location geometry-wise. The kicker for those that don't know, is that the seatbelt bolts are SAE 7/16-20 thread. They are not metric! Good to know that Schroth's have the right thread pitch. I didn't go the eye bolt route and need to source them. I'll see how quickly I can get them through Schroth. Did you also retain your stock belts? |

The kicker for those that don't know, is that the seatbelt bolts are SAE 7/16-20 thread. They are not metric! Wrong!! 7/16-20 just happens to be the same as 11x1.25, at least close enough that nuts and bolts usually can't tell the difference.
