We had a grat day in the shop yesterday, Dave came at 8 and we got started on the frt axle---we have the piolt holes drilled thru the frt plate and we will soon be able to attach it, John Showed up and started wire brushing all the wells---Joey wasn't able to come but unannounced Marty called, he is a certified welder and and builds off road racers---he welded until 7 pm we have 90% of the welding done my computer is either under attack or the gremlins are alive and well----it can't find my usb port :? ---hence still no picts---

I know I know lame excuses :roll:

Wow, fast and very good looking!
With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925

FAST  it took us a year to get to this point!!  :|

The next thing that I will do is noodle out the battery box and vertical that the push bar and chute attachments anchor to. After that I will install all of the harness attachment points and the seat backs. I am dancing around trying to be responsible enough to file my taxes---hopefully enough left over to pay order the rest of the parts and buy enough alum to finish skinning the FPD

Well last night Andy and I crawled in with the helment and marked our Shoulders, hip bones, and bottom of our feet without the SFI 20--

Sat we will put the 20 suit on and do the same thing; this 9 point is slightly different as to how one runs the shoulder belts. I have roughed out the "seat back" and we have to trim 3" off the upper back so that the belts pull off our shoulders at a 90 with the "HYbrid" on.

I think that TB would be happy "these peas" are not going to have much room to "rattle" around in this rattle trap---refers to the sounds of the car when on roll out after the eng is shut down!! :cheers:

Sparky, can you post good pictures and details of your 9pt belt set up as you do them?

Sure, the bottom line is the shoulder belt, "inner" that is between your body and the outer harness, job is to pull you, parallel to your spine down "into" your crotch belts, and the outer belts pulls back or against the seat back at  almost 90 degs. to your spine. 

When done like this you have virtually no torso movement at all,  hence the repeated warning make sure you place your controls with in reach!!! :-P

That is a seriously strong looking frame Sparky, must be happy with it?

I must be a bit steady, there is 4 shoulder harness straps?
2 that pull back (horizontal) and 2 that pull down (90 degrees to your setback angle)?

A while ago I asked about the joiners that you were putting in the bars above your motor, would you have a link or pics please?

Thanks

The strap is pulled straight back and the one on top now is the 180 strap---it pushes you down into the crotch strap  it keeps you from rising up into the back and top of the cage.

3-18-12 update: 
Andy and I spent a good bit of time in the car fully SFI 20 "Suited" yesterday--the two faint black lines indicate non HANS and with the Hybrid Pro on; we will be trimming the upper seat back and devising a removable insert for the space left open for our hands to be able to adjust the shoulder harness.

When we trim this we will consider putting both straps behind this seat back---what will change will be the attachment points of the two straps---we have the 180 strap bar installed---we have not decided on the 90 yet but we can after yesterdays session.
