t888-sti7

Any advise on fitting race spec harnesses to an STI7 Prodrive UK??? Was thinking of fitting 4/5 point SABELT harnesses to the car for that added touch.

Hi,

Just bought 3 point for my 1997 UK Turbo - speak to Paul @ MPC 01922 625903 for advice.

I am getting the harnesses fitted after Christmas ready for 2003 Hill Climb Championship

PS I think the existing seat belt anchor points can be used (not sure of this...)

You should never fit a harness without a roll cage.

You need to be *very* careful with them.......

OK. I'll bite. Why ever not?

I've read the other thread and can see the logic behind all of these warnings, but still can't understand the above comment.

I can even see the opposite, with standard belts there's a very hard bit of cage close to your head, above the door and the main hoop just behind you, so you should never fit a cage without full harnesses (and maybe even a crash helmet?) would be understandable but not the above.

if you have a 4-point harness without a roll cage you are exposing yourself to disaster if you roll the car - your head will held in place as the roof colapses!

Whereas with a lap and diagonal you can roll sideways or perhaps the shoulder strap comes down with the roof. Fairy Nuff. Makes sense.

i have sabelt 4 points in my v5sti type r.
in the installation instructions it says FIT TO THE FACTORY STANDARD BOLTS.
I took out the middle lap belt and used the bolt on either side of this for the rear mount and the side mounts i used the bolts that bolt down the rear of the front seats, they are Emarked also!
