A 4-point FIA, Road and Track Day harness from Willans, specifically made for Lotus Elise, Exige, 340R and Evora with shorter shoulder straps designed to wrap around a harness bar, these harnesses are essential for use in your Lotus if used on the road or track.
As standard they feature shoulder straps manufactured to the correct length ready to wrap around your harness bar, and lap straps which adjust by pulling down to tighten.
They are brand new FIA approved harnesses with this year's homologation and are labelled accordingly.
Please note that the Willans lightweight quick release buckle is of composite construction and is fixed to the left-hand lap strap on the drivers' side (UK RHD vehicles) and the right-hand lap strap on the passengers' side (UK RHD vehicles). With this configuration when the buckle is released it goes towards the centre of the car rather than the door. If you are ordering two harnesses, we will always supply one harness with a buckle attached to the left-hand lap strap and one harness with a buckle attached to the right-hand lap strap. If you are ordering a single harness, please confirm whether it is for the driver or passenger side (using the dropdown menu above) and we will supply a harness with the rotary buckle fixed to the appropriate side.
A harness bar manufactured specifically for your Lotus model will be required. We are not able to offer this item at the moment.
