In my never ending quest to cut weight here and there off my GT500, I'm considering removing the seatbelts and installing a harness bar and harnesses. Has anybody here done that? Are harnesses a pain in the butt to live with? What can I do about the seatbelt light and chime?
Now that I think about it, is there even really any weight to be saved going that route? I know for a fact that seatbelt spools are pretty heavy for their size. I can't remember the weight of the rear seatbelts when I took them out, but I do remember they were heavy. The front seatbelt latch only weighs 0.5 lbs., though. I'm figuring the seatbelts, bolts, and latches will add up. However, if I'm adding a harness bar, mounting hardware, and harnesses with all their buckles, would I actually end up adding weight?
