Icarus Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 this thing only got made on tue so it needs more testing just to make sure it holds i don't think it it could pop they are very strong but you never know. But if you dont mind testing as you go i will get 1 more made up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl999 Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Yea I fully understand bud, I am just crap at diy / making stuff, it looks safer than what I am using now, plus my existing seat belt seams to get caught up in my harness then jams into my leg, the breaking strain of that wire has to more than a seat belt too, a guy called Russel is also gonna send me an aircraft type seat belt to have a look at & test.

Bob Monkhouse Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Hi Russel, Do you know if they will release whilst under tension ? (ie. getting dragged along beach upside down) That's the thing that puts people off using car seatbelts, etc I think. Cheers Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem really is weather you could reach the belt to release it, I always get the kite under control first then release. never had issue with releasing when I've been upside down.

Yea thats all I do with mine too, well I also pressure wash / blast the crap out of it now & again, the bigest problem I have is when turtled & I have fastened below my harness & across my legs I sometimes slide slightly out of the buggy making it difficult to reach the seat belt, if I fasten the belt above my shackles the fastening part of the belt sometimes jams into my stomache, but fastening above the shackle stops my harness riding up my body when nicely powered up hence I am interested in something different.

pyromunky Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 Seatbelt looks good lee think im gonna have to get one of those made up some time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatdan Posted July 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 listen guys in regard to the steel wire seat belts they are ver good but i could not recomend some one using them unless like me and airborn you pass the seatbelt throught your harnes. If you didnt and the buggy got stuck the load would be on you not your hanes and the wire would not break leave only you to break or cheese wire. obviously this is only my opinion and you will do as you likes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icarus Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 good point dan, and ive noticed that mine has ware at one of the side rail loops going to put a longer tube on it so it dosent show. but first tests are going verry well,its well balanced and takes the load, but i would rather use a wichard than the one i've got just trust them more think i may mod this one with a harder spring so you can not nock it to release IT done it once when i first used it to c how easy it would release but just pulled the spring longer works 4 now but me thinks i need to fork out £35 4 a whichard plus new belt:confused: but hey its better to trust ur kit 100% peace of mind is a good thing! feal safe be safe thanks lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
