jobo Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 impressed that so cool building our own test slope have you had it out to play yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tear it up Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Truck looks good. Just one thing, do you think that's the best place to mount the shoulder harness strap fixing point? I would of thought that if you were to roll, which I hope you don't, and the sides caved in the strap would come loose and you wouldn't be held tight in the seat. When we used to prepare the rally cars we used to mount the shoulder straps and the crutch strap to the seat bars where the seats were fixed to. Just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought Jobo, yes i have had it out to play many times since the suspension setup Tear it up, those are the bolts where the rear seatbelts were mounted, so there is re-inforcenent there, what im hoping to do when i do the cage is put a hoop inside and two strengtheners and mount everything to that including the harnesses for the 3rd seat, i expect there are some controversial view on my "third seat" but if im honest if u have a day out laning chuck ur mate a video camera and theres no better place to be sat!

Love the third seat, it'll look even better once the tripod mounted rear-facing Bren gun is fitted!!!! Think you may have started something there Mr A.
