Arm restraints

Frozennova · 15 Jul 2015 at 22:52

Planning on a trip to Santa Pod sometime next month and I've just realised il need a set of Arm restraints due to being in an MX5. Is anyone able to recommend a set that will work with a standard 3 point lap belt?

I've read people using ratchet straps with loops sewn in the name of safety I'd like to do things properly

How am I supposed to drive the damn thing with that and a helmet on

They're to stop your arms flailing around outside the car should you flip it

Haha

I honestly don't know though! A cheeky google suggests that there are a few ways you can get to work with a harness but not sure about standard 3 point belt!

Is it not only for cars expected to go above 100mph? Thats around a 13.5 second 1/4 at a guess... Is that you?

Normally 110mph, but as its an MX5 without a hardtop you require a helmet and arm straps regardless due to the extra risk

Ah I see.
