where are those shoulder harnesses bolted to your cage?
it kinda looks like they are run to that tube on the floor, is this correct?

Mon Jan 24, 2005 11:20 pm

no they hook into these bolts on the pan. kinda wierd thats how i bought it, but if i keep it im putting extra wide prp seats in with 5 point harnesses that ARE gonna be fastened onto the cage, but only after i totally customize the cage

good to hear you plan on changing that.

i wonder how the previouse owners back feels after running those belts like that :?

actually i went out and looked at is, its really wierd, to complicated to explain actually im to lazy haha, but the side straps clip into the pan and the shoulder straps buckle together behind the seat not held on to anything else

Keep it. Crap it's paid for. Besides it actually looks like you could get it togather long before me! 8-[

Hey guys. I see you all live pretty close to me also. I'm looking to do my IRS conversion using an 002 tranny. How did the trailing arm setup work out for a Jig? Would you guys mind if I borrowed them? I've been looking around every where for a Jig, but no luck. My buddy next door just picked up a full length Manx and he is looking to convert his also.
