Hi,

I'm looking to do the seat belt supports on my chassis soon and want to know how people have fitted their seat belts.

I'm using normal road car seat belts from a rover, not harnesses.

Thanks, Theo

Are you building a 7 type?
I wouldn't fancy just a diagonal holding me in IF I tipped it up!

yeah I am, I do have harnesses as well but they go in to one at the back and ar very long so wasnt sure if they'd be allowed, am I wrong?

Like this?
Don't see why it should be a problem as long as it works OK fits round your seats and is the right height for SVA.
I'm sure others have used them........awaits response

hi if youve got the ones above you probably have standard size ones and need 7 style harnesses

yeah i do have the ones above, does that mean I cant use them?

Don't know why?
Is the top mount too long?
I guess saloons have this on the roll cage somewhere near the rear window
If this is the case, I'd still look at getting a replacement harness rather than the belts you have.
Apologies if anyone is using them in a 7, but I think they'd look odd and as said you really need holding in, unless you're not bothering with a roll bar, in which case your probably better of without belts at all

you cant the proper thing off ebay

kit car harnesses for about 40 quid

afterall itll cost you that much for a SVA retest

Cheers, Theo

ive just found these on ebay, but they dont say anything about being safety approved etc, how will i know if they'll pass an sva?

have them at that sort of price without trying, and you know they will have a proper label on them!!

My car was built on a relatively tight budget, but at the end of the day, your life depends on the seat belts and, although others may disagree, I believe my life is worth £90 for a pair of new 4-points from MAC1!!!

If I'd know then what I know now, I'd have bought 5-point belts and had another chassis mount so that I couldn't 'submarine' in a front-ender.

Cheers,
James
