I've just spent a hour looking and I give up. Who carries Torso Straps?

I heard they will strangle you in a severe incident.

may be that's why they were discountinued? Scott you need to slow down I heard you were going way to fast.

I am getting faster but now I have to hold myself into the seat better! And I'm not allowed to alter the seat to pass shoulder straps through so a torso belt is a reasonable solution to holding me in the seat.

Take a look at this:

Scott, What if you covered your butt with velcro??????

These guys have them

I have an old one made by G-Force. Looks like they don't make them anymore.

I've used it for AX when I had my C4 using the stock 3 point. They are fine for that and safe enough. It does help hold your upper torso still. You'll still be holding the wheel for leverage, but not as bad as without one.

TedDBere

Conecrusher, it's not the butt that's the problem. But I could velcro the back of the seat and my shirt. lol

The Sternum straps look like they're made for use with a harness. Maybe that's a future option, Hardbar, harness and sternum strap.

Wouldn't you still need substantial side bolsters in the seat to make this at all effective?

I'm a pretty big guy and am running a stock C4 seat and find I have a similar problem on track. If you use a sternum strap your back can still slide laterally until the strap loop reaches its length right?

I haven't used one so maybe I'm missing something, but that wouldn't seem to be very effective.

Here is a link to the Simpson's harness with sternum strap. I use these for the same reason, I have stock seats.

You need to adjust them so the sternum strap is in the correct place or you could choke yourself.

TedDBere:

Other option is that you can always make your own (or have a trim shop make it) using either an automotive style buckle or velcro with a suitable belt length.

Good Lord Al, that sounds like something a FORD owner would do. I own a Z06 and darn if I'm not going to look good...fast or slow!!

Actually, I've been thinking about making one for a while now, but for $15 bucks I'll buy the red one and if I don't like it I'll use the buckle and create something new.

Thanks everyone.

Scott,

I'd be happy to take a roll or two of duct tape and wrap you in that seat. I guarantee you'll stay put!
