Low back seats, roll cage, and harness? - Lateral-g Forums

Yes those are ISS seats, that Tracy reworked "ALOT"!

If I remember correctly Chicayne has some "airplane" belt system in it. They retract via a lever on the console.

Hmm... if it is indeed tied into the cage cross bar wouldn't that create some wicked whiplash to the neck upon collision due to the low back??

"Bob" doesn't have a cage does he?

thanks guys

You'll get whiplash if you get nailed without headrests regardless of harnesses or a cage but it doesn't seem like the lowbacks would make it hard to use the belts if you have them snugged.

If you're trying to be legal for track days, I would suggest making a headrest that can be bolted onto the cross bar, then remove for regular use.

Thanks Jason. I am actually not concerned with the track legality as I don't plan to go there much, if at all. I am really just trying to make it as safe as possible on the street for me. And I just don't want to get rid of these seats as I don't like most of the tall back seats avail on the market.
