Put both sets in yesterday. First side took a couple of hours while I figured things out but the other side was done be in45 minutes. You’ll need a 13 mm wrench for all the bolts, a 6mm hex head for the harness brackets, and a T32(?) for the seatbelt bolts. Easy-peasyView attachment 55423View attachment 55424View attachment 55425
Did you buy the pull-up or pull-down action to tighten or both?

I think pull UPS are better and easier to use in a limited space.

If anyone needs Sabelt information for buying harness send me a PM. They work great and fast removal when not needed.

If I recall the "S" is specific for 3 point belts.

I have the Simpson Hybrid S model which does provide head/neck restraint when used with the typical OE lap/shoulder belt system. Thus it provides me "Hans" protection as I instruct in cars which do not have a full 4 or 5 belt restraining system. Use it in my race car as well which does have a 5-point harness. The Hybrid S is around $1200 when last I looked so it is not a cheap unit, but certainly unique in the protection it provides with the typical lap/shoulder belt systems.

Yep, and Ive had one for a number of years. If a 5 point is available, the traditional Hans is more comfortable to me.

But an OEM 3 point? I'll use the Simpson.
