I have got the funds and know what i want to buy now.

Cobra Monaco bucket and sparco 4-point harness.

What other bits do I need to get this fitted?

Seat subframe! Is there anything else?

Cheers all.

Some eye bolts ( if the harnesses are clip in ) and loose your back seat.

Using eye bolts allows you to put the harnesses in without removing the original front and rear belts, so you can use your mini as both a 'normal' every day car, and put the harnesses in when you want to.

Off the top of my head you'll need ones with a 7/16" UNF thread.

Good tip, cheers.

Will the eye bolts come with the harness kit or does the harness kit bolt straight into the rear seat frame.

Hey, sorry to bump into this topic but in about a weeks time i will have near enough the exact same set up with buckets and sparco harnesses. I still want to be able to use my front seatbelts but not bothered about the rear. Any one know of where i can get the eye bolt/clips or what ever there called!?
also, will they need to be welded in or is there another way of attatching them?

thanks! Stu:D
