AaronW Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 and put it where? thats where ive only seen them go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 thats where i have mine mounted too my brother's too, although to be fair the instructions with the Willans do state that a less steep angle is preferable to dropping them right down behind the seats, i thought where mine are was grand, it was my local rally guys that installed them.also, lookin gooooooooooooooooood man! health to enjoy!Phil.

Sanchez Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Looking good mate!Yeah there not really anywhere else to put them is there?As your not supposed to mount to the strut brace where i have seen and heard its dangerous?Have sen some mount to floor bars behind the seats? what about that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AaronW Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 flor bars would be even steeper ,prob best place is on a rollcage cross bar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Looking good!My harness is attached just below the ledge bit where the rear seat bench sits (at 90 degrees to the floor), at an approximate 60 degree angle to the harness holes I'm guessing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
