6 point harness fitting

Stupid question as I cant find fitting instructions for the 6 point harnesses I have got.

Where should the two straps that go up between your legs be ideally attached (obviously the floor before some smart arse....)? Is there an ideal placement ?

I would have said either directly parallel to end of the cushion at the front of your seat a couple of inches or so under the seat at the front. I have seen a bucket seat in the past that has a slit a couple of inches in at the front of the seat for those very straps to go through. Never seen one again since though.

In a Scooby i would be inclined to attach it to the box section under the seat that runs across ways.

Do what the bloke done that built my XR2 before it was stripped and just dont attach them to anything :roll:

All fitted now - I got some great spreader plates from Alyn at ASP that just meant I had to drill the floor and screw the eyebolts through and into these.

Perfect

Thats what I did.

Wanted to make sure the 6-point harness was properly secured to the floor. Drilled two holes.

Made spreader plate for the top, sprayed holes and plate and fitted eyelets

Used the plates I`d bought at Autosport to secure the eyebolts under the car :thumb:

Check the blue book as I think there are maxium/minimum angles in place for crutch straps.

This is a worthwhile find.

I have a 6 point to go in but the instructions with it may as well be in greek

Didn't think to look in the Blue Book :roll:

I couldnt see any pictures in the Blue Book or anything describing the exact location of these.

Page 178 shows a 'typical' installation but no detail for crotch straps.

It used to be in the old section "E".
