am having trouble fitting my harnesses as i am unsure of where to bolt in the innner side of the buckets... any pics of harnesses fitted and fitting points woud be much appreciated, cheers

5th January 2009, 00:10

i used the exsisting bolt from the subframe mounting and layed the connecter over the hole in subframe and floor. Then put the bolt back in. Bobs your uncle.

Same place as Jay

6th January 2009, 02:26

depends on if you are 3 or 4 pointers.

I dont have pics and the car isnt stored near me.

my 4 pointers, 1 lap belt is bolted to the seatbelt mount behind the seat on floor near firewall for fuel tank, other is wrapped round and bolted to the seat subframe.

The two rears are mounted

6th January 2009, 02:42

No no put the drill down you looney toon.

lol.

Same but opposite way around. Invert it if you get me?

6th January 2009, 03:02

its an old omp 10 point bolt in.

Got a SD cup car cage replacing it though

And Re: where paul has his mounted, that would have the rear belt at a rather funky angle if you are mounting it in the inner wing area

6th January 2009, 03:05

Funky yeah, But still works, and back seats are use able.

Bit of a nightmare getting in though..

edit:
You not going to answer the last pm?

6th January 2009, 03:06

Just read your thread, fucking awesome machine in fairness fair play

When the old cage comes out, is it going in another shell or is it gonna be sold?

As soon as i get the mounts for the cage the SD is going in and floor bars going so then my profi SPG seat will fit.

Potentially might not be the safest though if the angle is really far off center, depends how it pulls down on both shoulders.

Was nothing else to add to the discussion.

6th January 2009, 03:15

Well no denying it would be at a better angle bolted to the back but easiest option if they want seats in the back.

I had seats in somedays for passengers, otherdays had mdf floor down for midimotor.

I used to get pulled alot when i had my previous saxo's. Cops never commented on the harnesses.

A picture

ps.
I would like the last question i asked you over pm answered, its a simple yes or no question really.

Ryan only has love for throttlebodies

And i've had no alcohol since new years

(anti-biotics)

6th January 2009, 13:25

i know where they go at the rear but i mean to the left of the drivers seat and right of the passengers seat? there are no visible holes to screw the screwing eyes into so am unsure what to do...

6th January 2009, 14:12

You can see in my picture and in Jays description where they go mate, theres four bolts that hold the seats in, on the drivers side you use the back left hole on the passeneger side the back right hole. You bolt the subframes into the4 car on the other three bolts, then with the fourth bolt you put the harness onto the bolt and then screw it through the subframe into the shell of the car

6th January 2009, 19:36

but i have screwing eyes that screw in, and then the harnesses clip on these.... the harnesses do not bolt directly in

6th January 2009, 21:30

really need help on this people, could do with some close up pics of fixings. help will be much appreciated

6th January 2009, 22:24

I told you where to bolt them

You mount the EYEs for the lap belts in the threaded hole behind the seat which is just infront of the fuel tank firewall. Its where part of the old seatbelt mounts. Then the eye bolt you can also as i have done mount by drilling a hole in the subframe.

7th January 2009, 13:17

i know where the rear parts mount! i need to see pics of the fronts

8th January 2009, 01:34

IVE TOLD YOOU WHERE!
the LAP belt mount it down behind the driver, where there is a hole from where you removed the old seatbelt system it is just infront of the firewall for the fuel tank. It is where rear passengers would have their feet.

Then the other to the subframve after drilling into it for the eyebolt.

i swear if you cant understand that for the 3rd time you shouldnt be working on a car.

8th January 2009, 13:21

well im asking for pics and all u keep doin is writing me big f*ck off paragraphs

8th January 2009, 13:35

some one must have some pics of their mounting points, thats all im after

8th January 2009, 21:19

i know what your talking about but wouldnt u only need to use that for 4 points? i have 3 points

8th January 2009, 22:01

no. Your back one as you know goes to the rear seat belt thing. the one one the drivers right hand side goes in to the hole from the seatbelt mounting bolt. And the one on the drivers left goes in to the exsisting hole in your subframe just use the exsisting bolt and put it through the connector then back through the subframe as though you were just bolting your seats down. that should be it sorted.

9th January 2009, 13:25

cheers mate, thats how i thought u mite do it but the end of the harnesses are not actually holes they are sort of clips that go onto an eye so am not sure if this would be a good idea

This isnt legal, you have to use the original seatbelt mounting points in the car.
Did you car pass the MOT alright when you fitted it like this?

Im in the same boat, think i'm going to weld in a new plate to bolt the eye bolt into. Unless i can find some M8 eye bolts, as there is a spare thread next to the old subframe mounts.

20th January 2009, 19:24

It doesnt cost much to get a proper strengthened plate fitted so your belts are secure in a crash. You will need to plate inside the car and underneath too to be properly safe. This will need to go slightly behind the seat (off the top of my head) around the back of where the handbrake is.

On your righthandside there is a bolt hole where the old seatbelt mechanism attaches to - use that for that side.

A competent garage will be able to do the job correctly

20th January 2009, 21:26

I've managed to find some 8mm eyebolts! Happy days! They are rated to 140kgs so should be strong enough and they bolt striaght into the spare 8mm hole behind the handbrake, as theres 2 to choose from to fit the subframe.

20th January 2009, 21:30

i have fitted these now but would be interesting to see what hole you are talking about. is there a hole ready around the handbrake?

Yeah, where you fit the subframes there are two hole to choose from around the handbrake, this pic is pretty poor quality but you can see where I mean, they may be covered by the carpet in standard guise? The only problem is theyre 8mm holes not 10mm, but i've found 8mm eyebolts!

20th January 2009, 21:48

oh rite i see, where did u get the eyebolts from? I may have to change mine in future as mine are bolted to an extra braket on the side of the subframe. I also had to get different sized eyebolts but only managed to find them in screwfix and think they are bigger than 8mm

20th January 2009, 22:21

Ebay! Its the same mount used for the seat so is going to be plenty secure enough.

I would severely advise against this.
There is a reason that harness eye bolts are the size they are.
M8 is quite a bit smaller than a standard eye bolt.
You will "weigh" quite a bit more than 140kg in the event of a hard impact.
For the sake of drilling a slightly bigger hole and using one of these:

2mm smaller! 140kgs, but its a 4 point harness dont forget so theres another 3 points to take the strain

21st January 2009, 17:32

To be honest I think this is far safer solution that drilling a hole in the subframe and bolting the harness to that. I cant see those thin subframes that corbeau make holding much down.

21st January 2009, 17:34

i dont see the issue here ive put harnesses in 3 cars and there are holes in the car in apropriate places so no drilling required
one just needs a load spreading washer on it and its all good

look just behind the handbrake lever theres a rubber bung in the floor
bolt through washer and a nut
and just trim the excess off the thread so it doesnt foul the handbrake mechanism
