Please, I need to know if the Ferrari 312T (year 1975), had on board the six harness safety belts type or the only four harness type.
I think the four one it was the right one, but I'm not sure.
I have a 1/24 Tamiya model kit with the six harness safety belts, I must decide if I must change it or if it's good. :confused:
When the four harness seat belts was used for the first time in a F1 car ? And in a race car ?
And a six harness one ?
Thank you.
Francesco

Six-point is correct, Frank.

There's a thread somewhere here with content from Michael Henderson, who was essentially the architect of the 6-point harness in racing cars...

Try this one, for instance:

Ferrari 312 T 1/24th Tamiya Model? Never heard of it.

Their 1/12th is pretty good and very correct in many details.
