Can any one help with this Just say i had a 3 door fitted with say Cobra Monaco bucket seats for example and they are fitted with Harnesses Can i still fit the back seat in and have the rear safety belts all working .Well one at least for my other son to seat in the back see i have two Sons and thats why i need the back seat Has any one got a Pic of there 3 Door with Bucket seats fitted and a rear seat as well See i might have a 3 Door lined up but no back seat But big SPEC Cheers

 

And just one other thing can i get a roll cage and still have back seat so the cars still got its looks (HARD)

 

dunno about a 3dr, but Colas escos has harnesses and a rear bench. Although the harnesses do bolt onto the rear seatbelt eyes, meaning that its a little difficult to sit on the rear seat, unless you sit in the middle lol

 

That it mate i thought he could seat in the middle But has any one had this problem if so any pics

 

I didnt think fitting harness's to rear seat belt anchors was a particularly good idea, in the event of a crash - because the mounts are below the level of your shoulders your body moving forward pulls on the belts which pull back on you in a downward direction compressing your spine!

so where do you mount them then? rear window?

 

No! Best bet is to get a harness bar but without a cage it can be somewhat tricky to find somewhere to mount it.

a harness bar is still lower than shoulder height though

and as per the point of his post, he is asking about harnesses WITH a rear bench fitted

 

Keep it all coming im learning When ever ive seen em they have all ways been fitted in rear safety belt holes

 

so where do you mount them then? rear window?

 

Dog is correct regarding a harness bar... but they arent going to be any use to you if you want to keep the rear bench in place. rear belt bolt holes are the only other place i know of mounting them....

we can both await someone else to educate us differently

 

There was some one on here with a Moonstone Saff and that had harnesses fitted Was it bal something

 

Not as low as rear seatbelt anchors though!

Im aware of the point of the post - I am just warning of the dangers of fitting harness's without fully thinking it through!

You should also be aware that your seat belt only comes over one shoulder for a reason. In the event (god forbid) of a rollover your body can literally fall out the way of the roof if its crushed. If you fit harness's without a cage your head will be held directly in the way of the roof. Obviously this is worst case scenario!

If you wear harness's they HAVE to be done up tight or you might aswell not wear any kind of belt, once done up tight you can forget looking over your shoulder to perform a manouvre and I seriously doubt (unless youre Inspector Gadget) that you will be able to reach the stereo!

dont know weather you could mount it to a rear strut brace,but that may be to close.just an idea.with the bottom of them on the standard seat beat mounts.

 

 

I had a saff with 3point harness secured to the underneath the rear seat belt eyes with a rear cage and I rolled it at big speeds spent some time upside down, I think it went over 4 times (wasn't counting) landed on its roof fucking hard and the harnesses kept me in the seat very well.

and I've got new harnesses and rear cage for the new car.

cheers
