    another question i have is that: are there belt harnesses that are better than others? and are they all compatible with any racing seat? or do i have to buy specific belts for specific seats?

    i don't want to go over $250 for both. maybe max max $300. Any good suggestions? also, lightweight seats are more preferable so the motion sim doesn't have too much load and so it moves faster

    i will upload my seats, but i did not expend more than 20 usdlls
    (some hours of my time, but that is all... sorry i willup load them tonight) but... the seat belts are sold by meters at an upholstery repair shop, the buckle i bought new (at a local car accesories store, but later i found that you can get them almost for free at a junck jard,) then i sewed by hand using bold poliester thread and a nice big needle, if you want your stitches to be "perfect", with a ruler and a marker, make dots for your perfectly spaced and straight stiches, but... if you see profesional harness, they are not pefectly stitched...

    lather i found that you han achieve nice loocking results using big (huge) plastic backpack buckle (sold on crafting stores, the ones where our mother goes to by threads)

    *** just a warning i made a 4 points harnes, i wanted a 5 points one, but i did not solved where to find the correct buckle :( but for inmersion and simulation 4 is just enough

    fer
