Hi again James The shoulder straps are pull down, of course, and the lap straps are 'pull down' - that is, the lap strap adjuster is mounted very close to the central buckle and you tighten the lap straps by pulling the loose end away from the centre - so probably in a downwards direction. They were specced as the best way to have them for a Seven and custom made to the 'Caterham cut'. The crotch straps have the the 't' shape spreader plate that plugs into the central buckle. I bought them just over a month ago but then changed my plans - so they are effectively brand new, never out of their boxes and all packaged up just as they came - including the protective wrappings over the buckles etc. Anyway - let me know if these might be right for you and we can take it from there!
