I have heard that it is possible to have std seats modified to take proper 5 point harness . IE slots at shoulders and one for the “knacker Cracker”
Anybody know who can do this??
Must be cheaper than a set of Motorsport seats.!

See Sector 111 site for details.

Hangar 111 can usually source stuff from them if you are interested.

Plans have done it, and have a demo car at Dunsfold with the conversion in. Alternatively send your email address to [email protected] and we can send pics.

Job is �119.50 per seat plus VAT.

Using a full harness with the standard seat is not at all optimal - the shoulder straps will not sit on the driver’s (or passenger’s) shoulders correctly, and in an accident, it could be possible to slip out of them.

I had an accident in a rally car in the early eighties with the shoulder belts not tightened properly. Take it from me, it hurts a lot.
