Hi all,
I guess this question may have been asked before but can anyone advise what Willans harness is suitable for general driving & occassional track? The harnessess are for my AK build which will have Richfield seats.

I got the same setup and took the chromed “flush head” stock seat belt bolts from a Jag and used for the lower mounts. Looks neat and cleared the Richfield seats.

Thanks for the info guys.
I like the look of the Willans 3 point harness but am wondering if I could use a 4 point harness, (2 anchor points instead of one at the top of the shoulder straps)?
let me know your thoughts please.

Regards,
Martyn

My vote on Willans 3 point, it looks good and fit the kit, why anything else?

I have this very setup on my southern roadcraft and they are very good.

Martyn,
just wondering, how would you fabricate the two mounting points?

Unless you plan to put the mounting points on top of the body? I think you may fall foul of the upper mounting point hight rule on Sva on the two outer mounts, due to the curvature of the body. The three points only just squeak through.

Willans do a standard size which suits our cobs, if I remember correctly dimensionally the same as Lotus 7 / Caterham.
Give them a call direct, really helpfull people
