cass what i mean is did you have harnesses bolted into the tunnel on a plate obviously having had to drill through which im keen to avoid or was it bolted to the rear seat fixing? i would use eye bolts to just wondered if paul whiffins way of bolting throught the tunnel was "the only" way??

i think driftworks are amongst the most reasonable for eyebolts in the uk ...linky below!

Nope not at all. The eye bolts replaced the original 2 rear bolts on the drivers seat frame, therefore leaving the rear seating area free and un harmed.

Sorry Jay ive not looked into fitting a harness specificly into a mkiv but i'll have a look, cant see why the eye bolts couldnt just go where the o/e mounts go unless the space is a bit on the tight side.

Demon Tweeks will have the eyebolts but doubt there the cheapest.

hmm thats what i though dunk im quite a tall chap being 6 foot 3 and i have to have the seat back as far as it will go and so my backside would line up with the rear bolts of the seat frame! could you have an investigation though if poss duck id appreciate that! un decided on 3 or 4 point either way ill have to bolt it on the rear seatbelt fixings just wether or not i use one or both of them!

I'll try and have a look at this today, are you fitting a proper race type seat as well ? if you are then the o/e belt mount for the left side of the harness wont be there.
If your using the stock seat then i'd have thought you could just use the mount where the seat belt bolts to it.

jay200bhp · 8th April 2009, 09:17 AM

yes dunk im going to keep the oem leather seats !id appreciate you having a look then !

thanks fella!i agree about the mounting whilst keeping the oem seats

Didnt get chance to have a look yesterday as i was a bit busy but i hope to find a bit of time today.

Just a thought if your using the oe seats, can you get the shoulder straps under the headrest as they cant go round the seat.

jay200bhp · 9th April 2009, 09:23 AM

thats no worries at all dunk thankyou for looking it up when you get a minute, i saw some pics of a supra with oem seats and 4 point harnesses and they were as you say slotted underneath the headrest! do these come up on the supra a bit or is that little plastic clip lever thing a seatbelt retainer

cheers dunk
