You need a harness bar and the harnesses, Eliseparts sell them. Assuming you haven't got motorsport seats, you'll need bolt on harnesses.

Exactly the setup I have, fits fine with the normal seats, no probs, but beware of skinny people the belts won't go that small. Also you will haev to be fairly insistant on your paxes, as they don't like to do the lap belt up tightly, it's the only thing stopping submarining, so pull it tight!

Oh and get used to not being able to see over your shoulder or reach the stereo (unless like me you have arms like a monkey!)

Oh yes, I have the following volume settings:

6 engine off
12 idle
16 around town
18 m-way
23 blatting :drive
26 m-way + ear plugs (Suprisingly effective, but everyone else has to put up with my dodgy music choices at 115dB :lol: )

Forgetting to turn down the radio at service stations can be exciting..! :shock:

Is it possible to fit harnesses on both sides, but also leave standard seat belts in place?

If anyone else needs a set of harnesses, I have one pair here (i.e. driver + passenger). They're Sabelt 4-point, with the EC buckle, 2" shoulder + lap straps, in black. Example pic below:

These are especially designed for 7-style and mid-engined cars. They don't have excessive shoulder strap material and the lap-belt adjusters are near the buckle where they are much easier to adjust. They are brand new, still in the Sabelt bags and come with the high-tensile fixing bolts.

£90.00 gets the pair.
