'80s racing harness layout (BMW M1)

[hueb_s]

I am currently building the M1 procar and need some advice to make the harness. I know (from the instructions) it's a 5-point racing harness, but what layout, and what manufacturer?

This is the layout on my Peugeot 905, but it's ten years later...



How about shoulder buckles, the ESCI instructions mention only a silver stripe...

Thanks for bringing this issue up, since I´m very keen on this information as well for my Le Mans contest entry. Nevertheless, with all the pictures I have of a 1980 M1, I can´t help you out.
The only interior shot is one of the BASF car of the 1980s. I´m not even sure, if it was raced in 1980.And as you can see, the photo doesn´t give much information about the seatbelt configuration:



But, if you don´t find anything, you can actually do wat you wanna do, because nobody can check the accuracy!!!

I think the decal sheet of the re-issued REvell kit says it all:

but the ESCI instr. sheet says 5-point, not 4-point.

True, the decal sheet has the information, so it should be 4 point racing seat belts, when we obey to Revell. Well, won´t help me, since I need to know the Le Mans configuration and I don´t whether the seat belt configuration of Le Mans was the same as the configuration in the Procar Series...

[hueb_s]

I guess, the Revell sheet is a Procar spec ('cause the kit is procar).
BUt nevertheless it is not correct, the seat has a hole on the lower part where the 5th belt is located, so I guess Procar spec should be 5-pt.
I halv-assembled the harness tonight:


Cannot help you with LM specs either. May be different...
