Replacement Harnesses


Recommended Posts

I am currently investigating replacement 3 point harnesses due to mine being awkward to adjust, with the adjustment having to be done behind the seat, which is fine if you only wear the same clothing all the time but sometimes I wear t shirt and shorts and sometimes thick coat and trousers.

I need something that can be adjusted whilst in the seat but also the rear fixing strap which attaches to the rear of the body must adjust down to a maximum (or even slightly shorter) of 20 inches so that the buckle which holds the shoulder straps doesn't interfere with the back of the seat if I stop quickly. I did look at some that people are using last weekend but never thought to measure so if somebody could tell me what might fit I would be grateful. Sabelt seem to be popular and they do red ones which I would like

I want to replace my 3 point ones with some that are easy to adjust when in the seat. Currently I have to get out, adjust and then get back in again hoping I've got it right. The waist straps need to pull inwards to tighten. I've been looking at the sabelt ones which I've seen on a lot of cars but there are different sorts so I need to know which ones are right for a seven type car. I don't want to end up with ones that are too long as the rear strap needs to adjust down to 20 inches or even slightly less.

It is the type that divides into a year behind the seat. They are adjusted as short as possible at the moment and to me that is not quite short enough as the buckle is too close to the seat as in the event of a hard stop they will pull against the back of the seat a little before they tighten against the mount. Dan, thanks for that I may go that way if I can't find something off the peg. As long as they do red of course.

I hate 4 point harnesses. Have seen a few people with smashed knees because of them. 3, 5 or 6 point harnesses all the way for me. Inertia belts are fantastic in operation, both for easy of putting on and in how they use your own inertia to pull your knees away from the steering wheel and dash if used in anger, they add nothing to your driving ability on track tho. 5/6 point are effectively the same animal and boy do they hold you tight.

My zero currently has 4 point because that’s what was fitted when I got it, they will be going this summer however, I never feel safe with them. Other problem is I need comparable seats for 5 point harnesses, mine have no hole for the fifth strap. 

And yes I know you can get anti submarine seats, I’ve yet to see a pair in a zero however and even those have limitations.
