Anyone know the best harness for an old school bucket seat, as it aint got any holes in the seat for it to run though. Dont think i've explained it right, like a 3, 4 point harness.

Dont want to have to keep picking it up off the floor as I think thats whats gonna happen?

Like these mate??

Im trying to find a website and all, very little is coming up

not sure, How will these fit? keep thinking that they will fall on the floor when you take them off as they dont go though the seat.

The seats are like this, different make though

Or is it possible to put the harness holes in as I'm recovering them anyway?

Yep they will.Been there ... done that

I scrapped the seat and bought a Cobra monaco which has the harness slots.

The other issue is the belt doesnt fit you properly and unless you have a slot behind you in the seat back there is a real danger of it coming off as you are driving:o

IMO I wouldnt bother.

^^^ What Pete said. Those just are'nt going to work with harnesses. Dont start cutting the seat up, you will affect its structural strength.

 

You really would be better off investing in some better seats. Look for ones that are FIA approved, to ensure they meet safety standards.

I had different ones before, didn't like then, they were very uncomfortable:(

Maybe this is stating the obvious but..... bucket seats are not like normal car seats. They fit much tighter and do restrict your movement. Its just a case of going and sitting in a selection till you find one that suits you personally and is fit for the purpose you are using the car for. People like Carlos Sainz are currently sitting in theirs for two weeks on the Dakar so I guess they are comfortable in them. I help a friend of mine build rally cars. His current client from Tanzania has just been over to "approve" the seat in his new car and do a final fitting.

 

Take your time and look around. Its essential to try before you buy.

And as stated already that old school Huntmaster will be a nightmare with a harness.

Sorry to go on..
