Following the Techtalk thread here I invite provisional interest in a Willans harness bulk buy.

To keep this simple, we are talking about Caterham specific harnesses only. This spec means:

Rotary aircraft buckles, handed left & right for driver/passenger
Reversed lap strap adjusters for ease of use with Tilletts
7/16 bolt in harness strap mounts
Short straps to suit Caterham cockpit
3" shoulders, 2" laps

Then you would have the following options:
standard 4 point or 6 point with 'T' crutch plug in strap
Alu or steel shoulder adjusters
Red, Black or Blue

If we can get enough orders to hit Willans 10+ quantity pricing, we can get 30% off list prices. I've been quoted two up to date prices as an example:

Caterham 4 point alu adjusters - £164.10 (RRP+vat) - 30% = £114.87+vat
Caterham 6 point alu adjusters - £176.08 (RRP+vat) - 30% = £123.26+vat

Caterham 4 point steel adjusters - £122.90 (RRP+vat) - 30% = £86.03+vat
Caterham 6 point steel adjusters - £134.88 (RRP+vat) - 30% = £94.42+vat

These will be subject to shipping as well but currently that looks to be around £1 per harness to me, and a yet to be researched figure onwards to you - budget £10 for two harnesses. Willans cannot supply fixing kits but I have a few leads on these that I'll be pursuing at Autosport.

So far we have:

For two 6 point harnesses -
Luke Beaumont - 2 x 6 point, blue, alu
Paul Collins PaulCo - 2 x 6 point, blue, alu
Dave Jackson - 2 x 6 point, black, alu
Andrew Dent - 2 x 6 point, black, alu
Mike Feltwell MJF - 2 x 6 point, black, alu
Bryn Noon bryn7 - 2 x 6 point, black, alu
James Smith smithj41 - - 2 x 6 point, black, alu
Paul Thompson - 2 x 6 point, black, alu
Jonathan Berridge - 2 x 6 point, black, alu
Phil Waters - 2 x 6 point, red, alu

For one 6 point harness -
Luke Freeman lukefree233 - 1 x 6 point, black, alu (RHD driver's side)
Tricky Dicky Rich - 1 x 6 point, black, steel (RHD driver's side)
Tiddy1 Simon - 1 x 6 point, black, steel
Tiddy1 Simon - 1 x 4 point, black, steel
Tight Fart - 1 x 6 point, blue, alu
Tight Fart - 1 x 4 point, blue, alu

For two 4 point harnesses -
Rob Walker (for Tom) - 2 x 4 point, blue, alu
Woodster - 2 x 4 point, black, alu
Nick Pargiter - 2 x 4 point, black, alu
John Howe - 2 x 4 point, black, alu
Paul corgi_watkins - 2 x 4 point, black, alu
Lotus Boy Dave - 2 x 4 point, red, steel

Barbara - I've tried the LUKE harnesses route. All well and good, but I've had several conversations with non-petrolhead type people thus:

"How sweet, you've had your name embroidered"
"No, I am displaying my impeccable motorsport credibility with harnesses made by Luke Racing Systems. That I am also called Luke is coincidence."
"Oh."

Still, it was good enough to obtain some discount when I met the owner of LUKE at Autosport '01 big grin smiley

Phil - Willans said yesterday that they couldn't ship anything before xmas, so I think we might as well wait until the new year before closing the deal & placing the order. I trust that at this time of year nobody needs theirs sooner than this?

One other thing I've just thought of - I'm sure the lady said that these harnesses come without fixing hardware. That's no problem for me as I'm replacing a set, but if there's demand I'll ask whether they can supply a hardware pack at extra cost.

Luke,

You're right, Willans don't supply the necessary bolts, washers etc.

I need a set but was going to ask Hyperion as they are just up the road from me but if you can get all the fixings that would be handy.

According to the other thread in Techtalk we are going to wait until people have checked out some (non Willan I believe) harnessses at the Autosport show. When is that?

Cheers

Dave

I think when we go to finalise the order I'll ask everyone to confirm what they want again and say then whether they need fixings. These can either be got from Willans or some other source. Not going to be hard to come by I'm sure.

Autosport is 13/14/15/16 January.
