Working on a track bound 914/6 and we have some confusion about rules I'm hoping ya'll can shed some light on the issue.
We're looking to install a 5 or 6 point harness and need to know what sorts of considerations we need to make for installation. The car is almost ready for paint, so we need to finalize all the backing plates, etc. I have already planned on using welded backing plates and nuts for attachment to the body. The biggest question is about a 'harness bar' for routing the harness to the correct height. There used to be a product that mounted on the upper seat belt mounting points. Would this style bar work for keeping the harness above shoulder level? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/members.rennlist.com-419-1395890066.1.JPG) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) with what they said.
To answer your other question, the harness bar can be used to route the harnesses but only if the angle of the belts coming over the driver and through the seat is downward at 0-20 degrees. I would think that would be too high for most applications though. As long as the harnesses are hard bolted into the firewall it shouldn't make a difference, but I also know whenever they are attached to a bar they need to be secured with some kind of spacer to keep them from migrating in the case of an accident. I think that's what they're referring to with the guides above. That's about it. |
