Paul White Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 My 4 point harnesses are old and tired so I have just bought new 6 point race harnesses from Caterham. How are the long bottom straps fixed? Are they bolted underneath the sholder strap fixings and just hang underneath the seat? If so, is there an easy way of threading them through without taking the seats out (and therefore the roll cage off and rear suspension apart etc..)? If anyone has any instructions or diagrams that would be good; there's no information of any use with the harnesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dignity Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I fitted mine to the tabs behind the seat which are located on the rear tube on the floor. No need to touch the cage when removing the seats though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul White Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Really? I can't get my seats in or out with the cage in place unless there's some knack i don't know about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted July 18, 2012 Leadership Team Share Posted July 18, 2012 The 6 pointers are fitted by running a bolt through the tab at the bottom bulkhead chassis tube and through the floor. The gap between the 2 is around 1" and a spacer is used to fill the gap, along with the 6 point section of the harness. ie. bolt rough tab, through spaver tube, through harness, through floor, washer and nut underneath. All this is obviously x2 per side! Yes the seat needs to be removed, and if necessary the cage as well! ETA, if you have lowered floors there's a longer spacer tube available. Stu.

What cage do you have? I can get my seat out with my double-D Roadsport cage fitted, but I have a low-back passenger seat which possibly gives me more room. I also have to take the tunnel cover off. But with enough jiggling to find the right sequence of positions for the seat, it comes out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Englishmaninwales Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Tillett seats can be removed without removing a standard SLR cage. Tight fit, but possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skydragon Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 +1 It's possible...but be prepared to swear and sweat a bit in the process... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul White Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Thanks guys, I'll have a play when I get a few hours spare. Yes, it's the Ds type cage, the seats are high backed Tillets and no it hasn't got a lowered floor BTW.

The critical bit is to remove the Caged supplied head restraint bracket. Impossible without doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z3MCJez Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 My tillet (before I replaced it) came out of the side. It needed a careful twist to get the back into the passenger seat area and then it came out bottom first through the drivers' side. Jez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
