Re: Racing Harness Install

Re: Racing Harness Install

You can also mount the shoulder harnesses through the firewall, but I would recommend a harness bar.

Re: Racing Harness Install

That's why you put beefy washers on both sides.
As for it not holding up under race conditions, MR24RE has been doing the hillclimb races with them mounted this way on three of his MR2s.

Not only has it been fine for racing, but you may have seen his video where he rolled the car at 110 mph ... belts were fine.
