OMP lap belt, pull-up style, with sewn snap anchor. Video of the tunnel side with the additional clearance problem to release the belt. These are the belts that were in the car and need to be replaced.

The bottom belt is a Schroth and was the driver's belt in a pull down style. The top belt is a Sabelt and was in the passenger side in a pull up style. The new belts are OMP and very similar to the old Sabelt in a pull-up style. I agree completely with your comments about seat base and anchor mounting.

To add an additional brace at the rear would be a substantial endeavor as the aluminum weld locations on the tunnel are right along the big wiring looms. Not saying it can't be done. Just saying it isn't going to get done in one week before loading the car and heading to RA. Ferrari raced these cars many, many times, with tall driver's and sure some of the seats were all the way back. They seemed to think the mounting and anchor locations were acceptable. Not saying I completely agree with that, but that's what's been done successfully for a long time.

The simple, most immediate solution is to use a pull-down adjuster style lap belt and hook up to the OEM anchor points just as it came from the factory. I don't have a new pull-down, so would need to have one sewn and back to me within the week. Both ways work, but the left side is easier to tighten and release than the right side due to the tunnel to seat clearance. Has anyone done what is shown on the driver's left?

It uses the light weight Schroth RFR cam lock buckle. The Flexi also has a T-bar sub strap with snap-in ends. Bolt-in or snap-in ends can be ordered separately. Profi The Profi line of belts have been the most popular but may be giving way to the very similar Flexi belt Flexi used to be a feature of Profi belts. The main difference is that the Profi uses a fixed lap belt design with the pull-up orientation only Flexi can be installed as either.

This eliminated extra webbing and sewing and now uses a continuous 2" or 3" strap. Snap-in anchors come with the lap and sub straps while the shoulders are wrap-around. Clubman The Clubman is very similar to the Profi but has less features and slightly different hardware that reduces the total cost. There is no shortage of safety with the Clubman belt.

The Clubman has 2" lap belts in a pull-up configuration, T-bar sub strap, and 2" or 3" shoulder belts. All belts include snap-in anchors. The slide adjusters and cam lock are bit heavier than in a Profi or Flexi harness and the Clubman is only available in a Black color. Hybrid The Hybrid solves a complaint among drivers who feel the standard sub-strap is uncomfortable.

The Hybrid sub-straps loop around the lap belts instead of connecting directly to the cam lock. This places the sub straps more along your thighs for better comfort. It uses snap-in ends on the lap and sub straps. The shoulders are wrap-around. If the unit is to be used in a commercial setting, or if it is desirable to clean the unit often, coated rungs are the way to go. The ovoid rungs found standard on most models are preferred to round rungs by most users for a few reasons.

First, the flat surface on the front and rear of the rung is a more forgiving surface to place pressure against such as that applied on your back while doing hanging leg lifts.

In Schroth therapy, certain exercises call for bracing the knees against the front of the rungs, which is far more comfortable when that is a flat surface, rather than a round one. Second, the oval rungs are more resistant to forces applied on the vertical plane, which is most often the case with stall bars, than round rungs.

Third, oval rungs are more ergonomic in their shape. What this means is that they can be made with more material, which makes them stronger, without causing hand pump, the way larger round rungs will, especially on smaller hands. This may not seem like much until you actually grip them, and it represents a notable increase in strength. All this considered, some prefer round rungs, especially those using their stall bars for gymnastics exercises. This makes going through motions like side levers more comfortable.

A great benefit to being a small operation is that we can accommodate special requests for rung shapes, sizes and materials. Vertical rails and crossbars : Two materials are offered standard for most stall bars; white ash and hard maple.

White ash is cost effective but strong and has the added benefit of bending a great deal before breaking. This gives it uncommon resilience. Cosmetically any given piece ranges from dark to light brown in the heartwood near the center of the log and light yellowish tan in the sapwood toward the bark of the log.

While I try to make every piece look as good as possible, I am of course limited by the stock available. Hard maple is the second hardest north american hardwood. It is stiff and very strong. Cosmetically it may have brown or even black streaks but is largely and very light peachy tan color.
