I have used a CG lock years ago and felt only very little improvement.

I can suggest one other approach: move the seat back a few inches, jank on the shoulder seat belt to "lock" it, keep holding/pulling/tension on the shoulder belt and slide the seat forward. You'll end up with essentially a pre-locked/tension seat belt so it's tight at the shoulder and waist.

I haven't done this for years but thinking about it more critically now it may limit some of the natural give/flex you get on a belt in the event of an accident.

Of course... nothing comes anywhere near a 6 point belt and a race seat.

I probably have one if I can find it (OTOH, it's possible I tried to return it and sent it back and never received a refund or acknowledgment).

Interested in buying it if I can find it?

I do and I would be happy to sell it to you for shipping cost, if the previous poster can't find his.

Steve,
Let me ask you a question, why are you selling it? Did it work the way you wanted it to?

I went to a full six point harness setup and racing seats.

I started this thread two years ago. The CG lock worked well as a moderate improvement with three point belts and street seats.

Like steveP911, I moved up to racing seats, six points, and a roll bar.

Anyone that follows the thread and wants the CGLock, LMK via PM. I'm soaking up the sun for a few weeks but will be able to get it to you around Presidents Day.

Just did. I tried earlier but it seemed like the normal poster dropdown menu wasn't right, and it didn't go through.

You need at least three posts in order to have private messaging activated. Should be good to go, now!

Maybe not what you're looking for, but my version of a CG Lock was to twist the buckle 180 degrees before connecting to the latch and tugging the belt tight. Did a decent job of holding me to my seat before I moved to a dedicated track car.

looking at a CGLock, check the thickness of where it is attached. Some of the newer seatbelts are too thick, and the CGLock will not firmly connect with the part it needs to.
