How To Mount A Harness 32 Gtr

[josh23457]

Hey Guys,

have a 32 GTR track car with a bolt in cage out of Japan. Initially we have mounted the harness to the old seat belts mounts in the rear. The problem we are having is that they are near the ground and are creating an angle great then 45 degrees which is a no no with cams.

The cage we have does not have a horiszontal bar across the back to mount the harnesses on

how do people mount them????

Should i go see a fabriactor and see if they can make a bar...

thoughts??

hey Josh, either have a taxi-bar fabricated or mount them straight back to the rear parcel shelf. just have to plate the underside. But the taxi-bar is good for cage strengthening anyway.

Yep. Get a harness bar made up. You won't regret it. It's the safest way to do it.

I'd go to a motorsport place. Meridian or Brown davis are in melbourne.

Meridian do nice ones but charge the same price as a half cage for their harness bars

josh where abouts are you? there are plenty of places in sydney that should be able to work with what you have, or start from scratch if that's what you want. unfortunately probably 80% of GTRs that are part time track cars have the rear straps put into the rear set belt points which as you say are not ideal due to the angle they create. even worse if you are using a stock type seat which will just snap in half. it's not so bad if you have a fixed seat that should offer more back protection. lots of people do use those points though mainly because it's easy, but also because being factory seat-belt mount points you know for certain they are strong enough for the purpose. a proper horizontal bar though will sort you out.

this is way late....but the seat belts are probably not your biggest issue - I've never seen a jap bolt in cage that meets CAMS regulations.

Just get the belt mounts put in when you get a proper cage put in
