Thread: Tube Bender

Richard:
I have an email sent to Ritch but it's after 5 so I won't here from him 'til Monday. Just thought I would get a second opinion if you have a minute. I get a different answer from just about everyone I talk to on this.

This is the mock up of the shoulder belt configuration. I only have about an inch clearance between the seat and the cage, so I don't think I can simply wrap the belt around the bar?? No room for the adjuster that way. The belt has to fold some to make it through the seat and around the helmet bars but there isn't anything there sharp to cut the belt.

Do you spoz' this will fly or is there a simpler but clean way to attach them? Ritch will no doubt give me a thumbs up or down Monday. Just wondered if I'm making this too complicated. Am I missing an easier way to do this?
Thanx
Gary

Green boxes represent the adjuster.
Orange represents a 1 1/4" tube to wrap the belt around and the red a mounting gusset. The lower cage support is right there but the frame rail is in the way on the inside. I thought this way they would both attach at the same hight.?
