Car came in before winter started.
We had already done some work on it before, Installed a White RSS Roll Cage.
This time we installed a Set of 6-Point Schroth Harness for the Customer.
Here are some pictures Enjoy.

i always thought harnesses in street cars were ilegal ! is that not true or do you just use regular seatbelts on the street ?

Dan@SCB

Only Illegal if you use it on Street, that why Factory Belts are still there for Street Use

theiceman

ah understood .. seems like a srange law tho .. that might save your lfe so we better make it ilegal .. unless they ASSUME because you wear it you are going to act like a criminal ?

Toronto Worker usually chimes in about now

Dan@SCB

well the thing is that Factory Belts have Pre Tensioners which work with the Safety Equipment on the Car... In that sense it does what it should.

Why are the lap belts not running through the holes in the seats?

Looks like they do... just the adjustment strap is hanging overtop.

In street cars when you have a frontal impact, the pretensioners allow your body and neck to move forward enough to allow some dispersion of the kinetic energy associated with deceleration to dissipate, so that when the seatbelt snaps tight, your neck(cervical spine) does not experience the full impact of the deceleration force - hence not breaking your neck and paralyzing you.

When forces of deceleration might be extreme as in autoracing and black/red run group (had to put that in), the harness prevents all forward motion of the body and secures you in place during a rollover thus protecting your life. It also prevents you from hitting the rollbar which also protects your life. Down side it lets the full force of deceleration transfer to your neck and cervical column. That transmission of force while mitigated with a seatbelt is not available with harnesses and hence harnesses are not approved for street use.

My opinion, and it is only MY opinion here, is that if you are going to use a harness, then use a HANS device, for whatever protection it provides, it helps slow down the forward motion of your neck allowing the kinetic energy time to dissipate further and prevent serious neck injury or paralysis.

This is just my opinion, not a surmon or lesson, but I do see in my daily travels these exact type of injuries and I pray that no one out there has to experience the result of a catastrophic neck injury.

the first thing I bought at Sportscar Boutique over 2 years ago was a HANS device.
Sorry I didn't buy my helmet from you Zook

I know the car ... I sold the trailer.



Looks good.

Is that Jonathan working hard?

I couldn't agree with your opinion more. I've found that a harness allows you to go that much faster since you're not exhausting yourself by bracing yourself in the seat. Getting a HANS at that point is a no-brainer - i'm picking mine up from SCB tomorrow.

Yea who is that handsome devil?
