Sh0velMan's Track Car Build

Sh0velMan · 08-14-2013, 09:21 AM

It's actually touching the bar quite firmly...

I actually have a brace, but there's simply not enough room between the seat and the bar to use it.

If, in the future, I move the seat forward an inch or two, I may have room to use it. Until then, I don't see how I can. :-/

I'll continue to investigate it though, since it costs me nothing to use the materials I already have.

Ah ok. Given that you are touching you should be okay. By the time you get strapped in it will pull you into the bar even more firmly. With straps that short you will have very little stretch under braking.

I'd be interested to see what the car weighs when you're all done with it.

Yeah, it's really wedged against it pretty firmly. That's why I have the rubber between the bar and the seat (it's black and zip-tied onto the bar in the photo if you look close).

The strap lengths are super short, so stretch should be almost non-existent, hopefully.
