Would like to pick someone's brains as to making seat harness for a racing car. Think it's a 4 point release system?? I have a few ref pics but the easiest and most effective cost way of repro


Any help ?

At that scale you could use a fabric material with wire buckles.

Where I am up to now


Well I've had a bit of a chance to do some work on the engine bay and surround and started to put in some aging to the engine bay, also looking through ref pics I've decided to coat the internal bays and interior a metallic gray ( I could have gone down the line of NMF but thought with size of vehicle and it end result this would be pointless


Painted calliper son brakes and wheels and also started on the leather racing wheel

Well I have to cut the leather into strips and then make buckles ( first time to make racing harness)


I also need to make a block where the harness attaches too.


The seat will need to be modified as well


This is what I'm attempting to replicate ( seat and harness
