Finally got my brackets, and was able to put in my new Cobra Monanco seats and Schroth harnesses, enjoy!





Only complaints on seats so far-
Its kinda hurts when you try to "flop" into these seats like I usually did with my leathers. The thigh support is rather high. The nonadjustability has not bothered me abit. The harnesses take alittle extra time to get into, but its very much so worth it while driving, the support is amazing, and you actually feel planted.

The only thing that could have used better engineering was the attachment of the seats to the sliders, you had to push the sliders all the way back, attach those two bolts, then all the way forward, and attach those two bolts. It works fine, but I think they can do better.

Cobra and Schroth get a 10 out of 10 from me.

nice seats.

 

Is that really how you are going to attatch the harnesses?

 

Yeah, Ive talked to numerous people who reccomend that, including the person who sold me them.

Just so you know man, seats + harness + no rollbar = trouble.

They look nice though...

 

please please please don't use that setup on the street (harnesses on the street are pretty pointless, would you really take the time to strap yourself in EVERYTIME you got in the car?).... shouldn't use it on the track either w/o roll protection.

 

Nice seats, but you seriously need some type of rollover protection when you're using a harness with non adjustable back rest seats! Actually, a harness with any seat without rollover protection is a big NO NO.

Read this and you'll understand why. Good luck...late

 

hey sjracer:

good looking on the link. i was always wondering why people said that.

 

Thank you all for your concern, but I have done my research on this one.
Those are the only DOT approved harnesses on the market, something like 10 out of 11 of the Formula teams currently use them in their cars, and Volvo is now making them optional equipment in their Euro spec cars. They are DOT tested and approved, they are designed, in a rollover situation, to release about three inches of slack to the inside chest belt, allowing your body to move inwards, keeping from being decapitated.

Once again, thanks for the concern, but I did it correctly.

I find it funny that the same guy who was flaming people for disregarding Drews post in that thread has....disregarded the information in Drews post.

OK tell me this, what about when your non reclinable bucket seats holds you in place too well while the roof comes crashing down on your head? I would say, bye bye neck and spine! Extra support can also be a bad thing about seats when you don't have rollover protection.

Just because it's dot approved doesn't mean it'll be safe in all situations. Did they plan for their customers to be using their harness in conjunction with a non reclinable seat with no rollover proctection? Most likely not.

I'm just trying to help you out. Take it as you please...late

pretty nice shiiet!
