So far, the only safety harness hardpoints that I’ve installed are in the overhead beam for the front seat shoulder harness. I held off on the lap belt hardpoints until I had the harnesses so I could more accurately determine their location.<\/p>\n

Well, the harnesses are in. I’m going with a 3\/4-point harness in the front (3 attach points but 4 connections at the buckle) with an inertia reel for the shoulder harnesses.\u00a0 The back will be the standard 3-point with a diagonal shoulder harness (just like in your car).<\/p>\n

Here’s the front seat shoulder harness with inertia reel installed.<\/p>\n

I decided to embed the outboard lap belt hardpoint in the sill just in front of the B-pillar.<\/p>\n

This the sill cutout<\/p>\n

\"2014-02-04<\/a><\/p>\n

Since the sill is about 3\/4″ thick, I decided to use 3\/4″ 2×2 aluminum for the hardpoint.<\/p>\n

Bonded in position with structural adhesive.<\/p>\n

\"2014-02-05<\/a><\/p>\n

And covered with two layers of Triax (to bring it flush with the sill and 3 layers of BID.<\/p>\n

\"2014-02-06<\/a><\/p>\n

Once it cures, I’ll drill a hole through the BID\/Triax.<\/p>\n
