Harness slots or not ?
millemg - 15/5/07 at 09:00 AM

I'm looking at "Odyssey 2" seats for my Vortx.

I am 6'4 tall with ermm "quite broad" shoulders....I sat in the seats at Stoneleigh and they felt good, (Cobras were too narrow for me) question is....

Should I get harness slots or not ?

just work it out based on a measurement to your shoulders whilst in a seated position and then compare that (relatively) to measurement "A" for the seat...

Yeah, I did that, but the slots seem very close together, and I was wondering if it's easier to get in the harness without the slots ?

I think it will also depend on where the harness mounts are on you're chassis. If they are close together behind the seat then the harness would rub on the sides of the seat going to the mounts, so in this case it would be better for them to go through the holes in the seat.

hope that makes sense.

I've just seen a clue in a pic of the same car, and same seats
