GT350 v2.0 ready for the track.....mods inside

[Voodooo]

Any one have any tips on getting these ARP studs in? I had to remove the wheel bearing to get the old ones out.

Looks like I might have to replace my compressor and get a bunch of washers.

The ARP studs dont seem to be fully square when inserted.

It's not a good idea to pull the studs in by the threads. I would recommend pressing them in on a press.

Watson 4pt painted DIB blue, Ford Racing RSD, Schroth 4 pt ASM harness and Cooltech lap belt loops installed. Had to remove the rear seat mount plastics for the Cooltech loops to fit. One torque screw on the inside requires you to nearly remove the seat to remove due to no clearance (ctr. console). FR also had two passenger side rear seat belt delete covers in the box. Awaiting the driver side piece

I agree. Already have one that I used with the Schroth Quick fit Pro that I used last season as well.

Do you have to drill to install that roll cage?

Can you install harnesses and use a Hans Device without a cage? I dont really want a cage in my car.

It's my understanding that you need a harness to keep the hans device in place (the shoulder straps hold the hans in place). Here's a link to a "hybrid" hans device intended to be used with 3pt belts.

This one is designed for use with the Schroth harnesses including the Quick Fit. This is what I am running. Very happy with it.

Any helmet with a Snell rating of SA2015 has the Hans mounting locations predrilled. The SHR flex comes with the mounting hardware.

This is a complicated subject.

3 point harnesses are designed so the occupant can fold towards the center of the car in a rollover with a roof collapse.

If you have a roll bar or cage, and you use the Schroth, you can't move anywhere. Which, is better for driving, will keep you in the seat, and will be fine for any kind of crash other than a roof crush roll over.

Simpson makes a 3 point compatible HANS:

So pick your poison.

Another thought is, if you take one frontal impact, the airbag will most likely keep the helmet from breaking your neck, but if you get more than one impact, the air bag deflates with time, you might have more need for the HANS.
