nic.day Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 SO I have a 2001 registered R500 number 19 so an early carI have a pair of side intrusion bars and have been told that they cannot be fitted to the R500 as the R500 chassis was never built with the facility to fit lap and diagonal seat-belts, and the location for them on a standard chassis is where the bars mount to.Is this right?? I have seen lots of other R cars with themThanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted March 17, 2021 Leadership Team Share Posted March 17, 2021 Nic, there should be a threaded boss on a web at each end of the top of the rear bulkhead, do you have this boss?Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markiebabes Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I'm sure you'll be able to fit them My R400 is a 2003 and has the boss mentioned above on both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nic.day Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 No boss on mine - Andy at S&Cs said the R500 never came with a boss for diagonal seat belts. But what I cannot understand is then if it was just a 'race' chassis why no boss for side protection?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nic.day Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 So is there any way to get side protection then?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted March 21, 2021 Leadership Team Share Posted March 21, 2021 I suspect you'll need to talk to Caterham or possibly Arch to ascertain whether there's an R500 specific bar, surely you can't be the first R500 owner to have faced this issue.Stu.
