My ZS 120 (Stripped)

i used to have my harness mounted like that and everyone else i know with a track zs does the same, that doesnt mean its right though, but i cant see it being a problem as long as your seat is solid and mounted well.
Its not a problem when you get the roll cage in so just aim to do that asap if your worried.

Yep, thats how mine are mounted as well. Dont know why people say its dangerous!! The force involved to pull the threads out of that hole would be more than a person in accident.

Yeh but on many harness mounting instructions it says the harness shouldnt be mounted more than 10degress below the shoulders as it can cause spinal injury and seatbelts/harnesses are ment to rely on stress points not the thread.

I think it should be safe as when you go forward in a collision a harness doesnt pull you back it holds you so when you go forward it wouldnt pull down the harness would just keep you in your seat.

And tbf im debating if i should put the interior back in..... When im not in the car i think i should put it back in but when im in the car i think wahey it looks and feels great lol

Its lighter, faster, more eco and i love the look. But 5 seats are always better than 2...

Taken from my Sabelt manual:

Anchorage 'C' for the shoulder pieces: use the lower anchorage of the rear seatbelts (generally located under the rear cushions).

Taken from another Sabelt supplier:

Notes on Harness Mounting

Ideally, shoulder straps should not bend more than 10° from the horizontal plane at the top of the shoulders. Maximum allowed by FIA rules is 45°. Harness mounting plates should be parallel to the belt’s plane, never perpendicular. Mounting the plate perpendicular to the belt puts the stress of impact on the weaker plate rather than the strength of the bolt.


However regulations vary if a Hans device is to be used.

Oh fair enough, i have different on my Willans mounting instrucions.
Plus i seen this and went on this:

This is how mine is:

in all of my days involved in cars iv never seen harness's mounted like that...

however it does replicate how it would be fitted if a cage was used, albeit a bit longer

I have seen it done quite a few times now, but i have put them back where they were and the interior has gone back in, to cold and noisy.

Its changed a few times since the first post!

Carpet has been replaced
Dash removed to be replaced
Back seats replaced with full leather
Front seats to be replaced with full leather
Rear lower strut brace
Engine broke and fixed it
Raised bonnet more
New alloys
Sports steering wheel
Heater matrix replaced

And a few random bits here and there

dude, you need to sort those seats out!

they make my eyes bleed

very interesting work there though!

[Maxxed_Ross]

I wouldn't have thought harnesses with standard seats would have been a good idea in an accident... but apart from that you've done some amount of work!
