Racing Harnesses??
Ian Bugden - February 19th, 2007 at 04:21 PM

Hi,
Where is the best point/s to attach a racing 3 or 4 point harness? I have seen people attach them straight down from the seat back and I am led to belive this is dangerous as it will break the seat into your back if you have a crash. I do not have a roll cage so am thinking of the rear firewall but there are no anchor points there.

Where do you suggest???

Cheers
Ian.

With no cage, i mount mine through the rear fire wall. Have a 3mm thick, 40mm wide piece of flat across the engine bay. (check min required dimensions from cams or andra).

This is how mine are attached. Between the harness mounts I have also added a child seat mounting point.

Its recomended that the harness is within 10 degress below horizontal but 40 degrees is acceptable. http://www.camsmanual.com.au/pdf/0609_0701.pdf
