Not wanting to take this any further off topic, but that photo concerns me Robin - are those your seats?

Bucket seats such as those shown here are rarely strong enough to actually take harnesses through the cut-outs, they are purely cosmetic. It was the same story on the old RS Focus - people we putting harnesses through the seats, but the backs of the seat aren't designed to take the load from a harness and can buckle and distort in a heavy impact, offering little or no support and potentially fatal consquences as the seat collapses around you. Just thought I'd let you know in case you weren't already aware of the dangers. The seat backs are separate from the base and arent stiff enough, like proper one-piece bucket seats, to handle forces exerted on them.

I don't mean to preach, but it's quite a serious safety concern - particularly on a track. They look lovely though... I hope I can source some.


....Not what I want to hear, but I appreciate you offering such info.

I'm inclined to feel that if I'm involved in an impact which is that heavy, I'd prefer not to survive! I only use them on track and The Ring. The belts are TUV approved for what that's worth.

:happy2:

EDIT:
Unless you object, I'm going to re-post your post in tony_danza's review thread here : -
Schroth Quickfit Removable Harness.... where your info can be further discussed as I intend to ask both Recaro and Schroth about this. < Now posted as Reply #47.

OK, not quite sure what is being used to determine running order, if I am running that late in the day I won't be there. I was one of the initial hoard to sign up too (See post #38). Let us know Ollie, if not I will just turn up in morning for the social elements.

Totally random order . But in fairness you mailed me on the 2nd nov to say you still couldn't commit??? 

But it looks like Robin will swap, if that helps.
