Im still undecided on 4 points and standard seats or 6 points and buckets.
Found these cheap and cheerful ones though http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/pr...C=GS-040410004

Be careful there mate, i've been after some Takatas, there are a LOT of fake ones on eBay..
Some are about 20 quid a set so its a bit obvious, others are priced at Takata prices!
Good guide here;

Seen these on flea bay, (demon tweeks ebay store).
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=p5197.c0.m619

They are for a Caterham, 2 seater, so you dont get all the excess shoulder strap.

Am i right in thinking I can carefully cut off the shoulder strap metal fixing plates and thread the harness bar directly through the shoulder straps??



Just an idea

Does anyone have one fitted and can the kids (2 - 5 year olds) still get in the back OK?

Steve if you look at the links to threads at the start of this one there is a few with pics fitted. I'm sure the kids would fit, but there is going to be a metal bar a foot or so in front of any rear passenger so the safety aspect could be questionable.
I won't have people in the back with mine fitted.
Wouldn't like to say, but take a look at the photos.

I wont be fitting mine when the kids are with me, just for track days then back out again. I'm sure theyd fit in fine, but having watched some 30mph crash test videos with rear passengers eating front seat even with belts on I wouldn't want to risk putting a bar even closer to them.
