rstoughy · 06-03-2012, 11:02 PM

I know its been done to death but for those who dont run a cage where and how do you have your harnesses mounted?

Lawsy, Shimmy what did / do you guys do???

Cheers

Have put the rear eyes in place where the baby seat anchors go, still trying to decide where to put the side eyes, but do have the plates for them

Craig,
Is that the ISOFIX locations you have used?
I was told to avoid these as they are not designed to brace an adult, only a child???

I will likely go rear cage or rear brace at some point but just looking for something in the interim.

It is the ISOFIX place but remove the bracket and put in the eyes from the full harness as long as they are M10 thread.

What you trying to achieve Paul? Existing seats with non permanent harnesses? or bolted in and rear seats out of action?

i have eyebolts in rear isofix, side seatbelt bolt and new one drilled and pkated into driveshaft tunnel

i always put on the seatbelt so no worries either way

4x2 across the bedroom ceiling, two mounting points 1m apart allowing swing space...

Sorry, wrong thread.....

Bolted in with a fixed bucket. Rear seats will likely stay in place though excluding MOT time as the drivers seat only slides and doesnt tilt now.

If seats are fixed then rear seats are useless. Best solution is a cage by the sounds of your use. Unless you get a rear strut/ harness bar. Then you tuck harnesses away into boot, fold up seats and have that OEM look without committing to a semi/ permanent cage.

Mounting points circled below for eye bolt/ belt buckle fitting.
