Haveing spoken to Graham at CG Lock regarding this essential bit of kit, he has given me some prices and numbers for a Group buy, basically £35 incl vat and shipping which is about 23% of! a great saveing if we can get together 40 people, to do this i have also extended the group buy to a couple of other clubs so we should easily get that number together.
Seeing second hand items sell for £30 within hours shows how much of a bargin this is for new items:
I was first introduced to them a few years ago when they were relatively new at a track day, i borrowed one for a few laps and was amazed they help keep you still in your seat by keeping the seatbelt tight, compared to without it when the seatbelt is generally loose and it feels like your trying to drive from a park bench, unfortunatly i never brought one as i had some Sparco Evos and 3" harnesses sat at home but now im back into a standard car i need that held in basically in control feeling that the CG lock gave me.
My own opinion is its the best thing you can get without going to harnesses and lets face it harnesses without a role cage isnt a good idea if you go over your pinned upright as the roof comes in where a CG lock still allows upper body movement to get down.
Most of you will know the score with these and im sure we will get some recomendations from members... the website for more info is http://www.cg-lock.co.uk/ and we will be buying direct from the site once the buy is under way.
