Currently have bolt in Harnesses, looking to convert them to wrap around. 

 

In my head, this seems do able, and google and images so to suggest it is possible. Not sure though  :mellow:

 

Hopefully, the information has copied below, if not: http://wescoperforma...t-wrap-exp.html

 

It looks very similar. If you can add a bolt in to a wrap around, then I can't see why you can't reverse it. Thoughts?

Crow individual shoulder harnesses and sub-belts have the option of "bolt-in/wrap around ends", which means that the shoulder harness or sub-belt ends come with metal bolt tabs on the ends, but the bolt tabs can be easily removed and then the ends can be used as "wrap around ends"...your choice!

But from memory, the bolt in tabs are stiched in I think? 

 

On the example above it just looks like there's no additional stitching anywhere ...

When I was looking for wrap harnesses I was having trouble finding some in the colour I liked   poof poof poof poof so I called up BoT and they told me they are the same. They also said just buy hatchback harness and follow the instructions to wrap it correctly. If you buy kitcar or lotus ones they are shorter for more money so I did as advised. So cheap OMP "Honda civic" bolt in harnesses and bob's your uncle fannys your aunt and Hitler had one ball

Mine are similar to this ^^ , Caterham / Westfield style.

 

The only slider piece I have is the one just about the torso...

 

I presume I need one of these? (The slider on the bottom right) to form the wrap around part?
