What Harness?

Post by GraemeW » Sat May 01, 2021 9:42 am

I was looking at a new Atom 4 the other day, with the alloy adjuster on the harness. What a joy it was to adjust, compared to the non alloy on my Atom 3.5. Every time a different person gets in my passenger seat I have to spend about 15 minutes faffing around to adjust them. OK part of which is I forget how its done, as its not that frequent

So I was thinking of upgrading to these. I can get the Willans similar or the same as Ariel for about £50 less, but was looking at some other brands. Found 6 point harness with alloy adjusters from Sparco and TRS for about £100 less per seat. Seem to be the cheapest. Im not a tack driver, so don't need the best, but nor do I want rubbish. There are some other brands slightly more, so spoilt for choice.

Any views, wise words or recommendations about these other brands?

Thanks

I prefer the Sabelt 4 point that came fitted in my lotus when I bought it to the Willians but if I was buying new I'd get a Schroth ASM harness. There probably isn't much risk of submarining in the Ariel seats but it is worth spending a little bit extra to mitigate any risk IMO.

I have Sparco 4 point harness and Schroth 3 inch 6 Point harness, i feel much better with the 6 point.

I run Schroth Flexi 2x2 (6pt.) in my AA3 and really like them.

I had TRS ones on my Atom 3.5 and they were excellent with alloy adjusters.
On road and on track they were reliable and had no slip.
I have the Willans ones from the factory on my 4 and they feel similar to me.

Cheers,
Stu

Going for the factory 3” alloy ones on my Atom but had Schroth on my Elise and they were excellent too.
GR Yaris CP for when it rains, Atom 4 for when it doesn’t.
