The belts had only just been put in - they haven't been adjusted yet.
The reason they are there is because they will be getting some use.
Same reason the through dash cage is being fitted:thumbsup:

Standard R33 seats in Connolley Leather.
It was an optional extra through the main dealer which I had done when buying the UK R33.

The 'motion' picture is my favourite of the bunch:smokin:very nice, I particularly like the last 'motion' shot:bowdown1:
wish I had your wheels!
You have the same wheels though Steve
Yours are just bronze, I think they suit your car better than silver would:bowdown1:

Matt - just a gente safety tip - if you intend to properly 'use' those harnesses then mount them to the C pillar and not the back seat base fittings.
Lots of physics involved but to cut it short in a heavy frontal impact the way you have them now will exert pressure down on your shoulders/spine etc. Yes, it's better as is than the factory seatbelt but the most efficient and safest way of fitting harnesses IMHO is to keep the main webbing strap as horizontal as possible, and the best way of doing this is to fit it to the C pillar seatbelt fitting.
Just my two penn'orth

Jim, won't pulling at an angle affect it too though
I was going to see, when the cage is fitted, how difficult it would be to make a removable bar for the harnesses so they would be part of the cage?
(and be perfectly horizontal)
They are only in temp at the moment.

So where would you put the 4th strap from a 4 point harness?

Hi Matt,
Yes but the angle when fastened to the C pillar is closer to straight than when fastened to the base of the rear seat.
Plus I'd argue that there's less serious injury to be had be pulling you sideways on impact than by exerting similar pressure downwards on your shoulders and spine.
Just MHO opinion though. Either way, they look the absolute business!!

I'd do as Matt says and fit a bar as part of a rollcage and mount them both to that
When you buy harnesses there should be fitting instructions that show fitting positions. Yeah fitting to the base of the rear seat is ok but the C pillar is better. When I bought my Schroth Safety Devices harnesses the instructions were excellent - would've thought all others come with similar?

Ive got instructions with my Willans (3 point) but will be swapping them for a 4 point and putting the 3 point in my swift (when i find one!)
