mbracing61 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Where I can buy a suitable type of 4 point harness for a late ‘80es Super Seven BDR model currently fitted with an old inertia type belt? Possibly not looking too modern to keep a period look.Thanksmbracing61 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K7 VCT Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Perhaps the standard buckle type 4 pointer may be more of what your after. Try demon tweeks, search the below. Willans Supersport 4x4 Caterham Harness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team Shortshift Posted July 17, 2019 Leadership Team Share Posted July 17, 2019 I have just removed a set of the 'standard buckle' 4-point belts from a car; I agree (though you might say I have a motive for saying so!) that these might be more in keeping with the period appearance than the more modern quick-release (rotary buckle) type. They are in great condition except that the tops of the shoulder straps have faded a touch - but I would have thought that some fabric dye would sort that in a jiffy. All of the fixings (bolts, washers and spacers) are there, too.Photos (probably in weird orientations) below in case of interest.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesar Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I also have a set of "standard buckle" Willans belts if James B's don't suit. Fitted a few weeks ago but not done more than 10 miles! So, as new. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbracing61 Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 Hi Caesar why you removed them after such a short time, any problems? Are they black with the Willans or Caterham script on the shoulders? In any case let me know your asking price cheers.mbracing61 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbracing61 Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 Hi James from which car you took them off? Price?Cheersmbracing61 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesar Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Hi,When I bought the car earlier this year it was fitted with 5 point harnesses. I didn't like these and they were a little shabby so I decided to replace them. Since I no longer do trackdays I thought that the 'traditional' style would be good especially for my wife who finds wearing a full harness a bit of a faff.I got my mechanic mate to fit them but instantly did not like then, I actually found adjusting them a little fiddly so the car is going back to him to take them out and fit 4 point belts. He lives 5 miles away hence 10 miles usage!They are black with "WILLANS" script. I wont quote a price until I know you don't want James B's as he got in first and I don't want to have a price war!

Caesar Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 If anybody wants mine they will be out of the car in a few days.Let me know.I paid £174 from Demon Tweeks. I would be happy to take £120.David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
