Ok, so today I dropped by the shop to see what progress had been made. The sheet metal parts are now ordered, and a bent section has been supplied to get the parts custom bent to fit perfectly. I got there just in time to help with the bending.
Developed lengths
Bent sections
The fab guys were telling me we are looking at getting the sheet work back within a week and assembly will be a few days
Webbing Update
With this time scale in mind I need to get ordering the webbing. This is what I am looking at.
Vintage style 4 Bar seat belt webbing @ 49mm
Vintage style weave @ 51mm
This is the webbing for the ring mounts on the rear @ 36mm
Gino told me he thought the weave from the webbing used from the first run of harness' was the best he had seen, here we have upped the width slightly, but retained the weave.
Lastly, and this is important I need to get a handle on who wants which type of seat belt webbing to place the order for these soon. Please post up or pm me.
So I went to the press guys today to collect the 'brace' parts. I almost have all the parts to start fabrication. Just waiting on the rings for the webbing now, which we may get tomorrow.
