help with harness

Post by J306SPD »

I'M HAVING THE hardest time with the 3 point harness install. I can't find how to wrap the stupid brackets. Shoot me ideas if you know or have any please let me know. I've searched on different sites.

Done it many times but hard to describe. You wrap the belt back onto itself. If it aint real tight, it aint right. Ask Dale Sr.

Nothing complicated. On mine the strap that runs to the mounting location in stitched to the bracket. The part the runs to the buckle loops through the bracket leaving some extra belt dangling down (which is what you use to tighten the belt). Like this...

Nascrap driver who never wore his safety gear right, went to intimidatingly block someone, got spun into the wall like he spun people his whole career, killed em. Now we have mandated head and neck restraints and softer walls to crash into.

Fixed it, partially.

Cabot has the correct drawing. Once or twice I have had to open up the bracket a little to make it all fit. Having tested belts on more than one occasion, you want them done right.

Please feel free to shoot me comments and concerns on the harness setup. I had to wrap the e slack around the harness bar but the harness is bolted In safe harness bill zones
