I have some harnesses in the garage, i'm wondering if it is worth fitting them into the standard sapphire cossie seats, or is it not worth the hassle? anyone got them fitted to there standard seats?

also where are they best mounted? and can you also use them whilst keeping your standard seat belts in for everyday use?

cheers

 

not sure where you'd mount the back part of them - would make the back seats useless

 

If the car is a daily runner don't bother. After the novelty wears off you'll get the hump messing about.

 

Harnesses! Yak..... It took me all mi time to figure em out.... and then cannot get out of em!

 

yeah i was kind of thinking that may be the case

 

Sarah i take it you don't like harness's then

 

Unless you fit bucket seats then they aren't worth it for daily driving.

Still ok for track days as long as your seats are strong enough to take the strains in a crash.

The're a right pain when you want to just pull up at the postbox to drop off a letter or something. I tend to loosen them off as I slow down before pulling up so that I can quickly unclip them and climb out. Plus they are a pain to loosen and take twice as long to sort out when they are not clipped up.

 

no

a) you will look like a c*nt driving a std car in harnesses
b) they are a pain in the arse to get in and out of
c) you will look like a c*nt

 

I love mine..but my car is very track focused. I only drive it when I want to DRIVE it so the fuss doesn't bother me.

Theres no way i'd have them in a everyday car though!!

 

I thought normal seats aren't strong enough to cope with harnesses.

ie crash and they will snap the seat in half as well as your back.

maybe wrong though.

 

As Dave Says, no way on a road car. They are superb on track though.

 

I've had them in an everyday car, but then my car was stripped, and was fitted with proper bucket seats, IMO there was no messin around, just seems people are lazy these days!

 

My nova has normal belts and harnesses, i use the normal belts day to day and will be using the harnesses on the track.

 

I'll have to admit I have cheated and done this for short trips from shop to shop in town. Can't anymore now shell is stripped.
