Editing S2 Track Modifications (section)

===3.	Harness===
So the cornering and braking is throwing you around the cabin and wedging your left leg against the gear lever just isn’t good enough to stop the bruising. If your just having fun consider a CGlock but if you really want to "feel" the car you need a harness.

Bolt in or Wraparound ? 

If you don’t have seats with shoulder strap holes you MUST buy bolt in harnesses. If you have seat holes then you can have either.

Harness shoulder strap bar ? 

There are two principle types of harness bar, one that mounts mid level using dedicated points on the roll hoop but requires cutting the plastic back panel or one that bolts up behind the inertia reels and requires no cutting but can hold the straps too high and loose if you are shorter.

Harness Points ? 

They come in 4 or 5/6 point (crutch strap). 4 point is fine as you need a special cut-out in the base of the seat and a mount frame and/or custom floor spreader plates to use the 5/6 crutch strap.

Clubman or Standard ? 

Clubman harness have the 2” shoulder straps permanently attached to the lap straps and do not join at the buckle which means they can be quite wide at the shoulders, you could pop out the middle if you are a slight build. Separate shoulder and lap straps which all join at the buckle are more expensive but far more secure and come in 2” or 3” (pref) shoulder strap widths. Lap straps should generally be 2” for security as the 3” can apparently ride up the pelvis fitted to Elise seats.

Adjusters ? 

Shoulder straps can be fitted with plain buckles or quick release adjusters which make leaning forward (e.g. if using harness on the road) a whole lot easier.

The gold standard for harnesses are the Willans Silverstone 4x4 3” shoulder 2” lap strap with quick release adjusters £180 and you can add a the crutch strap later; use this as a price/performance comparison benchmark for whatever you are thinking of buying.

Racing !

Note that if you anticipate racing your car the S1 A frame and S2 cages do not have bolt in harness points so you will need to change to wrapround harnesses and a race seat with harness holes - maybe do this now to save switching costs.
