Harnesses

[Alex B]

Now ive fitted my harness bar, im looking for harnesses so I have been researching into how to fit the bottom harness points, with keeping my standard belts, or at least the passenger one.

Are there any guides other than the seloc wiki which is usless.

Or a fitting kit you need to buy?

Many thanks yet again.

I got a Luke one from elise parts. Obviously gav fitted it. But it came with everything needed to keep your standard belts...

Thats what I wanted to hear scatty, anyone else order schroth or willans ones and did they come with all the bits to keep standard

belts?

 

Sector111 seem to do a fitting a kit with slightly different bushing sets no uk supplies by the look of it.

Any chance of a pic of someones installation?

I think chalkey ordered a schroth one recently, might be worth dropping him a PM....

So the s111 kit is only for use for asm schroth harness kits.

I believe so

Fro what Ive just read it seems so. Think I will be going for luke harnesses from EP

I'm sure I did a harness installation kinda guide thread when I installed mine last year, but can't seem to find it now.

 

I have Scroth's, look the danglies, and fit great even with my standard S2 seats.

[Alex B]

Jon do your scroths wrap around or bolt in?

 

Did you buy the lotus specific ones?

[Martin R]

You need wrap around for seats with harness holes and bolt in for standard seats. That is only for the top part of the harness. The lap belts are the same on both AFAIK. The only difference is there is a bracket attached on the top belts to make them bolt in. Remove this and they can then wrap around the harness bar. Scroth belts are excellent INO.

 

Edit, if you look at this pic you can see the bracket that bolts to the harness bar at the top of the shoulder belts. The harness bar should be installed with the holes pointing down IIRC.

I have installed the bar with the bolts facing down.

 

If you look on the msar site they advertise some lotus specfic scroth harnesses, as well as normal ones what would be the difference?

I would get the lotus specific ones, that's what I have and they fit perfectly. One issue if you plan to remove the seatbelts you should go for the red button. Apparently you need it a button to pass the mot. if you have the belts as well you can go for a turn buckle.

 

Just had a look and the lotus specific ones have the right harness plates to fit the lotus. the rest look like they are clip on

[Alex B]

From what I can gather from the lotus specific pictures I'd need to order the bolt in pieces separately as well as the fitting kit.

 

I want to keep standard belts.

You would have to order the shoulder strap plates separately
