Question with racing harness

Postby tescoking » Tue Jul 02, 2013 6:46 pm

Hey guys, I hope I post in the right section.

I am using the factory seat of my NB, and I would love to install racing harness to keep my bottom and back stick to the seat.

Question is, do I really have to get some Sparco seats? I just re-trim my seats and I don't feel confortable with the basket seats. Can I have the racing harness with factory seats? If I could what kind of racing harness and parts do I need? Is the roll bar has to compatible with the racing harness?

Harnesses can be permitted for road use but I would strongly advise against using a harness with road seats, they are simply not compatible with each other.

Harness mounting alone is a science. The mounts need to be seriously strong and the belts have to be at the correct angles to work.

In short don't do it!

If you want the stock seatbelt to be tighter to pin you in to the seat by a CG Lock: http://www.cg-lock.com/
