RPS13: Where did you mount your harness to in the HB?

[Accurit]

So i got a 89 Hatch pretty much stock except some old school enkies on them =] (4th one i had)



Currently my driver side seat belt is not working, but thanks for the helpful post here on Nico, its getting fixed for free....taking it in tomorrow to get it looked at. I didn't have to strong arm them at all.....that lil girl at the service booth wouldn't have stood a chance hahahaha =/ I don't want a roll cage at the moment, this will be more of a weekend racer and fun time car. So i wanna keep as much as the interior intact as well. Almost a restore but also i want it to handle like my subie =] well atleast give it a run for its money.....

So i am getting the 180sx bride seat for the drivers side, that will be my "daily seat" til i decide on a bucket to get to have it lower in the car or cough up the money for the bride low max reclining ones....so sexy...so expensive....

Did a few searches but doesn't seem much options out there...

So where did you mount your harness? C pillar bar? Rear Strut bar? Straight to the rear seats? Is there a decent harness bar out there? Custom job?

The sparco harness on Subarus are nice but since we don't have the bolt up top how do ya mount?

The best way to mount them without a harness bar is to cross the shoulder belts behind the seat and bolt them to the stock rear seat belt location. You will need to remove the lower half of the rear seat if you have not already.

yeah that seems like the case, it just sucks how the stock S13 seats are pretty narrow, so the harness slides down quite a bit

Thanks OM3GA

needs to be mounted so the belt pulls from straight behind you, not below, or you'll crush your spine in a wreck. harness bar/roll cage, or i had mine mounted to rear strut bar, but you cannot have the seat up, needs to have tension on the solid point (if the belts are looped over top of back seat then mounted lower, the seat could/will pop open letting you fall forward another 6+ inches).

lap belts mounted to rear seat bolts, just replace the bolts with eye bolts, or get a longer bolt with solid mount plates.

Yeap, only up to 45 degrees but flat is the best way to go, anything beyond that will result in spine compression.

On the right inside stock seat mount its a screw coming out...rather the screw going into the body, how do you mount the eye ring there? tap weld with a modded eye ring? I got a set of Takata's 6 points coming in. I had this issue before with my takatas in my subaru to my 240. But never really looked into it for the 240(i was easily discouraged to think about it then) and just ran stock seat belts for some road course events, nothing hardcore like autoX and hill climb like i did in the subie.

Pics of how your harness is mount and bolted would be great =] i love pictures~ Thanks for all the advice so far srpowered240sx.
