TwoHeadsTas Posted 30September, 2019 Report Share Posted 30September, 2019 A few of us from PCT visited a local workshop on our last EMR, and one of the feature cars was a Tuttle 911 in the course of a rebuild and preparation for a couple of major rallies next year - SE African the first, and then the Round the World. Plenty of redundancy being built into the car - dual fuel systems etc - in case of breakdowns / problems. Looks stunning, great resto for a car with significant international and Australian history. firstone, Peter M, Raven and 5 others 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar for the crutch straps of the 6 point harness I reckon. Although I see loops on the cross member so maybe not. What Aust history does it have?

RwGreeny Posted 30September, 2019 Report Share Posted 30September, 2019 The quality and shear amount of fab work in that shell is just absolutely mind boggling. And @TwoHeadsTas do mean Tuthill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, answer directly from the horse's mouth so to speak: Originally the crutch strap came off the eye on the seat base. This is now not allowed by CAMS rules as the belt would only come through the seat + / - a few degrees. The crutch strap is now anchored behind the seat, redirected under the black bar and then square up through the seat, so the harness now complies and is easily adjusted.
