Right, Ive got the seats, The rollcage should be on order soon so the next step will be harnesses. Im leaning more towards some Cobra Three point harnesses as they as there safe but also practical. Ive found a pair fairly cheap on E-bay, Just having trouble on deciding what colour to go for.

^^ what the harneeses look like when un-folded.
There are three choices, Red (probally not), Blue (matches the seats) Or Black (nice n subtle). Im having a morning of in-decisivness so im asking for your oppinions, Blue so it matches the seats (see image below) or Black so they match the rest of the car.

I did do the footwell neons imbarrasingly, But then i saw the light and took them out.

have actually been thinking of some new interior lighting for the mk4, as the dials are as standard a nice blue and red i was kinda thinking blue bulbs in the center light and map lights, and a not to gay red neon in each of the front foot wells, all out of sight, and wouldnt be done cheesey and they go with the already from the factory lighted theme of the car...
:grin: :grin: :grin:
-
obviously it has to be black.. it goes with everything!! :laugh: one 3 point harnesses where would you put the 3rd point? thee mounthing bracket towards the centre of the rear seat? im presuming its not the one to the left hand side near wheel (lookin into back seat, and using drivers side harness)
Lookin at my mates harnesses and where the mountn brackets are from rear belts wouldn't 3 point be twisted n one direction?as teh harness point at the rear seat doesn't mak a straught triagle!? hope it makes sense!? :kiss:
-
they thread through the seat flat, Then will be mounted at the base of the rear seat towards the bottom of the car no more than a foot away from the back of the front seat. This means that the harness lays compleatly flat on the gaps at the top of the seat, you can twist the harness about 90 degrees each way without effecting the way they feel. Shouldnt twist the harness anything more then at all TBH the bolts nearly flat. When i get out of the office ill take a photo.
Im trying to mount the harnesses as close to the seat as possible, So many people mout them to a rear strut brace or somthing simular, which is great, until a truck goes up the back and folds the car in half and slacking the harnesses :undecided:
-
last time i did this kinda thing i used 4 pointers and had thm bolted to the rear seat belt points and it worked really well, saved my life infact!
-
yeah i know you botlt them to the harnesses to the rear seatbelt points, but when using 3 points which is best to use? one towards the middle?
hmmm..... i need a cabriolet...
