harness advice

just got a cheap boat for the track (mk3gti)

once interior is stripped weres the best place to bolt harness down

cheers lee

Dedicated, custom harness mounts and wrapped around the harness bar in the cage that you'll need to install before you fit harnesses.

NOT f*cking seatbelt mounts..... if you value your physical well-being.

cheers dh trouble is wasnt goin to put a cage in for first outing just wanted to see what the boat would be like 

but on same token wanted to be a little more strapped in than just a seat belt

Don't be an idiot and put in badly fitted harnesses, get one of these instead:

Spend the rest on a proper car-use helmet.

have you got buckets? imo its worth fitting both if your car corners well enough for you to fall out your standard seat, so the bucket and harness give you more control. safety is a bonus tbh

for the first day i would just drive it as it is, you will soon work out where money needs spending for the next one!

ok kool just wanted to chuck a harness in so i didnt end up laying on passenger seat lol but if it safer to leave seatbelt in for now i will do that

[VeeDubGTI16v]

i found its more the seat that stops you moving around than the harness, so if you went for a seat and std seatbelt you wouldn't have to worry about the mounting points, and then maybe put harnesses in after a cage?

How big are you?!

I fitted Scirocco seats to my Golf2, which are damned fine.  IIRC there's a few SEATs with Golf3 width runners.  Might be worth having a poke about in a yard for one of those if the G3 seats really are that bad.

CG-Lock should cure the 'slopping about' problem though.....
