Well my zook is booked in to be complianced tomorrow but i want to clear something up first. If i get the harnesses complianced does that mean I can not return to the standard seat belts? Or can i then have either or? Does anyone here actually use harnesses on the road, as from the little bit of driving I have done with them I feel very safe but I dont like the lack of vision that they induce. If I dont get them complianced, is it legal to have them bolted in and not wearing them on the road? And if I do get them complianced, do I have to wear them on the road or can I wear the standard seat belts on the road and harnesses off?
Cheers

Re: Harnesses
my mates that do drag racing have the same issues. most of them keep there original seatbelts (im pretty sure u have to any way) for onroad and have the harnesses for offroad. that way theres no compliance issues.Zook_Fan wrote:Well my zook is booked in to be complianced tomorrow but i want to clear something up first.

Be interested if you get them complianced, there is an ADR cut off that demands self tensioners somewhere in the late 70's early 80's i believe. Pre that date, harnesses could be fitted, post that date... not possible due to tensioning requirement.
Personally i have both bolted in, use the lap sash daily, harnesses are there for play time. An even better idea i think would be the clip in harnesses, just have the D-rings bolted in, one less thing for the DoT and cops to raise their eyebrows at.

I think that is why people use both. I looked in to it years ago and was pretty sure that's waht you had to do, retain the retractables.Personally i have both bolted in, use the lap sash daily, harnesses are there for play time.

Be wary with clip ins. Good idea but so easy to pinch
