Jules Martin Posted April 3, 2000 Share Posted April 3, 2000 A small warning to all you R500 buyers who are having the carbon fibre seats (as you should !) it is impossible to fit lap & diagonal belts in addition to the racing harness. You can easily get the complicated bit in but not the "female" part, it won't go between the seat and the tunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Wong1697456877 Posted April 3, 2000 Share Posted April 3, 2000 Why would you want both harnesses and belts? Alex Wong alex.wong@lotus7club.co.uk http://www.alexwong.net Home : 44-(0)121-440 6972 Fax : 44-(0)121-440 4601 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Martin Posted April 3, 2000 Author Share Posted April 3, 2000 Alex, Because it takes me 5 mins to get the belts on and 5 secs for the lap & digonal. If I'm just popping to the pub or the villahge the temptation to not use the harness is rather great. I know of many Caterham owners who have both and it seems the ideal solution.

Casbar Posted April 4, 2000 Share Posted April 4, 2000 If it takes you 5 mins to put your full harness on, you should try using both hands, it will then only take 2.5 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Martin Posted April 4, 2000 Author Share Posted April 4, 2000 Clever dick ! Maybe we should have a competition for the speediest donning of a harness from standing outside the car. Perhaps the winner could get an evening with Anna Rexia - on her ! Actually this reply is addressed to the wrong forum. LOL Jules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Rexia Posted April 6, 2000 Share Posted April 6, 2000 I'm more into getting them off in a hurry than putting them on in a hurry! What's wrong with that? Why am I here in the anorak department? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Martin Posted April 6, 2000 Author Share Posted April 6, 2000 Anna, Meet me back in the "non-Anorak" forum. Jules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHRIS CLARK Posted April 6, 2000 Share Posted April 6, 2000 Alex, Yes I too have both the lap/diagonal belt & the full five (or six depending which end you look at!)harnesses. The car came with the L/D, but I fitted the full set-up.Originally I was going to remove the recoil set-up but have you seen the trouble involved in that! Glad I left both in now 'cos when it rains & the roof goes up it's a lot easier for the two of us to 'belt up'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
