Looking good, i'm not saying anything negative as thats already covered.   No answer to the rear bar question?....... Seems it's going to be pretty tidy looking inside..

sorry mate what did i miss ? (rear bar question) ???  to be honest i was gonna do the whole project to a high standard to start with, but then thought i want it as a track  car and not a show car ! so the standard of work is not going to be great but at the same time wont be sh!t either......

DH and Soundillusion were questioning the rear strut brace, and why you have attached the seat belt to it?


I don't think a semi will give the same results

You crash or you get shunted and the rear of the car is bends or breaks away, the harness is going with it. Where does that leave room for your body?

Think of it as a cheese slice through your chest. Not a safe or acceptable place to put a harness :undecided: That and they should be mounted parallel to the floor.

Just read this thread all the way through, nice turn round from your original thread, and you've been very busy!

The reason that you should never attach your belts to the strut brace is a major safety issue, example, If your car gets side swiped on the OS rear wheel, by another car, doing lets say 80mph, then it will cause the turret that the bar is welded to, to move, if this movement is in a rearwards direction, the the belts could quite easily snap you shoulder blades, or worse, but if the belts are attached to the cage, this will simply not happen, I strongly recommend that you change your decision on this

One other point, you'll need to sort out some sort of ventilation for yourself, and also the side windows, and windscreen, Demon Tweeks do very cheap inline fans for around £25 well worth it. especially if you want to be able to see where your going should it start to rain!

I also have a Motor traders policy that's pretty much the same as yours... they DO exist :rolleyes:
