cascade88 Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Hi dougie. I like your style but seems a lot on here won't. There was a guy on driftworks selling the replicas for £120 a set, was a few weeks ago now so may have to hunt for his for sale thread but he had a few sets, black and green. 1 Quote
Vlad Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/111787117368 £105, so got to be a replica! 1 Quote
veilside z Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Always wondered how you would drill and and fix these Harness straps. Where are the fixing points? Quote
Vlad Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 I'm running OMP harnesses and welded 4 eye bolt plates onto rear strut bar and cut 4 holes in plastic...so plastic still covers it all and then you just screw bolts from harnesses through the holes into the eye bolt plates. 1 Quote

I was looking for some Atalanta harnesses myself another day and came across them...they look good on the picture, but I just wouldn't trust them! You never know, they might be brilliant, but might not...for the safety items like that I wouldn't test my luck lol Quote
Vlad Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 P.s. It says "for off road use only" as obviously they were never tested and road approved. Quote
Jetpilot Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 I know this might sound trite, but, how hard/expensive can it be to stitch some webbing together, i think the thing that would worry me most is the buckle mechanism. Think i prefer to just buy some out of date fia harness's Quote

Think i prefer to just buy some out of date fia harness's Yea, that. I'm pretty sure that the actual material part of it will be strong...it's the buckle that worries me as well. I'll stick to my OMP ones until I can afford real Takata ones...as I do love them! Lol Quote
dougie350 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Posted October 4, 2015 Thanks for the input everyone, In relation to being reps etc, I've seen/used reps before and they have appeared very good, the stitching was fine and the mechanisms worked perfectly. I think a lot of aftermarket/performance parts are stated for "off road/track use only" probably due to laws etc...... Quote
dougie350 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Posted October 4, 2015 Always wondered how you would drill and and fix these Harness straps. Where are the fixing points? I've completely stripped the back out of my z now, including all the speaker housing as I've got a cage in it, and there is a threaded mounting hole, not sure if it's designed for a eye bolt but it fits one in perfectly and is in the right place for a 3 point harness, when I get mine they will be mounted on the horizontal bar I've had put in to replace the strut bar I've taken out 1 Quote
cascade88 Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) Dougie get a progress build going. Any stripping and track work is interesting. Unless you have one or elsewhere? As for the threaded hole, just make sure the metal it's mounted to is substantial enough to take the force of being pulled forwards. Edited October 4, 2015 by cascade88 Quote

I have got a build thread but haven't added to it lately, I will do though, the car is in for a colour change atm so when it comes back next week I'll update it yeh i wasn't sure what it was for really, I won't be using it, just noticed it as I was stripping stuff out.
