Andrzej Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 @NickBW - do You have some pictures where to You mounted te 5-6 belts (crotch belts) of harness ? What is the weight of this all-carbon-car ? I have the Aeorace chasis but with all GRP and aluminium panels so could estimete roughly what weight saving is possible on carbon . 1 Quote

Interesting, i did start weighing what i was taking off and what it was replacing but it became too time consuming... I am due to book a geo and full weight in the next month or so so will know hopefully the full weight then! The crotch mounting point is through the floor in the middle of the base of the seat. I can take some photos if it helps Quote
Andrzej Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 Thank You! If it need to unbolt the seats just for the pictures then no, to much hassle with this (depending of the type of the mounting). Just if You could desceribe - is it (the crotch belt mounting bolt ) mounted just to the aluminium floor ? Did You added any reinforcement - like the steel bar that the seat is mounted to, or just such plate under the floor : https://motorsport.2brally.pl/userdata/public/gfx/42394bc32f5b8695706290f6c00a1a15.jpg I am affraid that the floor panel is not enough but maybe I am wrong As for the panels - I have weighted only the bonnet and a nose of the westfield and the seme parts, made also of the fiberglass not even a carbon like Yours super lightweight, and the difference was rather big : Westfield bonnet 7,5kg vs thinner fiberglass 3,1kg ; nosecone 5,5kg vs 3,5kg. Adding side , rear, wheel arches etc should bi significant weight reduction with carbon. Oh and the aluminium around tunnel and rear. Quote

Mine goes through the steel cross section under the seat where the seat mounts to as well. It's at the rear of the seat. Not sure why the photo is upside down but you can see the bolt in the middle. 1 Quote

Paul Aspden (MoFast) Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 @Marcus S. I made the screen myself and cut the up rights down. 1 Quote
