"Schroth Quickfit removable 4-point harness" By Tony Danza
tony_danza:
The TUV approval on these harnesses is on a per-car basis, i.e. there is a specific model of harness particular to each vehicle - so it can only be assumed they have been designed in conjunction with each other.
They're not "universal" in a traditional 3/4/6 point off the shelf sense.

Bin em its not worth the risk i have seen so many smashed cars in the past as i had to go around all the bodyshops for my work and u would be shocked to see what happens to a seat on impact :sick:. I have seen done up chav cars with this type of system fitted and the seats have twisted and snapped due to the force :sad1: the holes in your seats are for design pure and simple
tony_danza:
Mat, I totally get your point - it can't be assumed that because you have harness guides, you have a seat that can be used with harnesses... but it doesn't completely rule them all out as unsafe.
The EVO having 2 piece seats and OEM harness mountings (I'm 99% sure you can buy harnesses for the car direct from Mitsu?) proves that having the correct seat and mounting angles is safe. This is what is key here.
The TUV approval for the MK5 specific harness may have been based on the OEM seat, rather than the optional Recaro - Robin needs to check this.
MAT ED30:
just been looking at the design of these and the only way u will ever know is if u crash and thats not what u want :sad1: but they do look very good and the design looks like it should works fine but as i say who knows. I would defo use them on a track day but not on the road :smiley:
MAT ED30:
Maybe jonny knows people in his job that would be able to shed some light on this type of system for road/track :confused: might be good to ask him
