Look much, much better now though.


I'm no expert on harnesses, but not having them
Straight behind the seat must be bad?


Need to remove carpet next

Anything with a Raceland logo on it can't be described as for performance purpose

Looking good at the expense of having a bad back and sofa cushions thrown about the place

Agreed, I don't think you're supposed to mount them to the rear seat belt mounts at all.

its not should also be higher up to correct FIA approved angle, also looks a mess

mine were not correct but felt they looked better like this and alot more practical aswell

They are lighter than the standard ones, it passed its mot and i had a ocifer look over them and they both said it was all good, they work so thats theain thing, my old track corsa was stripped of everything but in this one iv chosen to keep the plastics and carpets to keep the car looking civil and its a daily runner im sure i can cope with the 0.0000000001g the plastics weigh anyway

FIA state that there has to be more than a 45degree angle from the back of the seat to the harness to prevent the harness applying down woods pressure in the event off an accident which would compress your spine.
