4 Point Harness

Featured Replies

#1

What I would like to know has anyone fitted a 4 point harness to a FG turbo ute.

I have had a brief look and its going to be more difficult I thought ?.

Is there any tips out there???

1- dont run them on a stock seat, they are designed for seats with harness holes

2- due to the minimum angle requirements you will either need to get a harness bar installed. or run an eyelet with holes drilled through rear of cab with one of those threaded plates other side of cab

On my 180sx I ran one eyelet at the stock lower sea tbelt bolt, the other I drilled hole through tunnel just behind where the stock female seat belt buckle roughly is and used one of those eyelet plates. The rear I used the stock rear seatbelt mounts, which was just on the boarderline of acceptable angle (dont have this option with a ute obviously) but now have half cage with harness bar from AGI which puts it at a lot better angle for the rear straps

cams info here on mounting

Depends on how serious the events are you are running in.

I've run a 4 point harness on mine over the stock seat for years at track days, over the top of the existing belt. Don't trust it that much!

Just used a CG lock before this.

4 point helps a great deal. These cars are too heavy to attain the corner speeds of lighter cars, so this set up is adequate.

Being a daily driver I prefer having a comfortable stock seat too. Big hassle with air bags to remove completely. At the time, couldn't find a harness bar for FG.

Replaced the rear seat bolts with eye bolts.

Have the rear seat belt bolt replaced with eye bolts too.

Run a harness through the top of the seat. Use extra padding. Set up is not ideal but big improvement from the stock seat.

Interesting,it's the shoulder belts that are a concern in a ute

My apologies, didn't read the ute part. :)

I just know both harnesses I bought specifically mentioned not to use with a stock adjustable headrest style seat

If you run one of these with the hole drilled through the rear of the cab it should work as long as the angle is acceptable
