Hey,

This may have been covered before bu ti cant seem to find it anywhere.
Is a Race harness thingy legal in ACT? Do i have to get the car engineered as a 2 seater to do this? And how do you go about engineering a car for a 2 seater?

Sorry if this has been covered before.


Thanks Blake

ring canberra connect in the morning and ask to be put through to Tech Standards at the Motor registry they should be able to help you

Blake,

The rules and regs have changed since I last chased this up...

But in the 90's a 2 seater had to be registered as a rally car.... they had different levels and for every day road use - a full harness was not allowed (I had my harness detachable with normal lap sash for every day). My car at the time had a fibreglass nose and half cage.

This was before "engineering" so hopefully someone has more recent/relevant info...

Otherwise have alook at the following links :

(of course the link in the PDF is now out of date...

Thankyou i might give them a ring in the morning and see what they say. I have installed my harness and have kept the original seatbelt all hooked up so it doesnt worry me if its not legal but i thought i better check before i decided to use it every now and then.


Thanks Blake
