Hou Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Looking awesome dude, although I would add a harness bar to your cage as the angle of your harnesses is all wrong Quote

Dan507 Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 you belts need to be crossed mate. like this.This looks awesome by the way. I always have a soft sport for track cars. whats the full spec? Quote
Jamie1st Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 This is the car that made me go TD04!Cant believe Andy has sold it, and like I said on FB, will never forgive him haha...BUT... at least it's gone to you Josh! Quote
Hou Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 No they don'tThe big issue with fixing harnesses to rear seat belt points is that in a front end crash, you risk badly damaging your spine because you, the seat and the harness can/do pivot forwards & down (think what would happen if the flimsy fibreglass seat back snapped!).MSA (Blue Book, Part K) say that the rear harness straps are prefered at an angle of +/- 10 degrees from horizontal, down to a max of 45 degrees. So your car would be unlikely to pass scrutineering if you mount to the rear seat belt points anyway, and you won't get to a nice shallow angle without a harness bar.Personally i took the decision that i'd rather be as safe as possible, and risk having a cage that needs re-certifying, than risk a front end impact that crushes my spine.A poorly fitted harness will be a lot more damaging than a standard seatbelt!It needs to be more like this: Quote
pick1 Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Wow just so damn sexy fair play to ya dude another sweet ep Quote
drongo boi Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Looks mint dude! Love that cage!! Quote

Hou Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 You should be able to get a harness bar welded on to your original cage dude for not very much Quote

Hou Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Yeah Dean should be able to sort it, I am all about the safety lol hence why I won't run a harness without a cage as that is also dangerous Quote
lugzy clart Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 wow this glanza looks like its got a lot of presence and td04 to match aswell also thank you hou ive learnt alot about harnesses that i didnt before for now i dont have to google the hell out of it to find the same info lol Quote
Hou Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 No problem dude, I only learnt that over on Track Ninjas Quote

Dean @RW-Developments Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Really glad this went to a good home! We still sorting that seat frame tomorrow? Also if you want the roll cage adding too let me know I've done a few including my mates type r turbo where it ran a single diagonal bar in the rear and I converted it too a cross bar with proper harness bars! It's now perfect and looks loads better! I'll talk to you tomorrow :-)Dean Quote
