Hi guys and gals!
I just installed 5 point harnesses on the drivers side of my car. Everything is ok with the top bar... On the left side, I shaved the spacer down so I could fit the original seat belt and new race strap retainers in, side by side. On the right side, I removed the spacer entirely, since there is a spring to provide pressure against the OEM and new fittings. I drilled a centered hole through the bar connecting the two sides of the seat, and cut away a hex hole in the composite seat, so that I could slide a shaved down bolt behind the bar mount. I threw a washer and nut over the anti-submarine strap fitting, so it's secure.
I'm assuming the existing OEM seat anchor points are sturdy enough.
As of now, the anti-submarine is horribly unsafe (I know, :no
. I was reluctant to cut a slot through my leather seats. Will I need to get new seats? Is there a way to cut and sew my way out of this mess? Does anyone know what places could do this work for me? I really want to get this done, because with the sub belt over the seat, it pulls the lap belt further away from me, if anything.
Also, I shorted the female seat belt connection wires, but my light is still on... :huh:
