Seat Belt Help

<< < (2/3) > >>

Ray Hadford:
Bruce is right on with a crew person strapping the driver in.....   Only way to go.

I went to Taylor Motorsports  7 point harness with cam lock........two years ago.    Works really well...   you may have to add anchors for the belts that go around your thighs... ( you actually sit on those belts)  The lap belts are pull up...( I made up an  S shaped .5  dia. tube tool to pull the lap belt tight the first time that adjustment stayed. No need to redo)

The 7 point system works way better for the parachute hits.....   

The belts are nomex covered and all wrap tubing with special belt threading through metal plate buckles.  No bolt on steel anchors.
 
Dennis Taylor was very helpful and they can be re-certified.

As Bruce said get crew to help someone you or crew can feed belt through the adjuster push on the belt  at adjuster to feed it through.
Usually I get the guy on opposite side to pull while  I feed it we even use a tie down strap through the loop to help them pull the belt tight
this for the lap belts only. My Dragster tires are in the way so the tie down strap makes it easier.
In the FA I feed and tighten at the same time for Driver is larger and his arms are in the way  ::)! right Mike? I also use the opposite side rule as I can get much tighter this way.

I built a U shape pull up tool for my guys like mentioned previously. RED, but very necessary for a crew guy. pull up lap belts for sure.

up in smoke:
Bought my second set of pull-up belts with cam lock from Racer Direct, awesome company to deal with, no tools necessary to cinch me in, although I agree with a crew member to assist. and they are recertifiable. so happy I bought a set for the wifes car

crider:
I have pull up belts from Dj, they seem to work pretty well for me
