Agree, Would like to see Kevin's approach and detail regarding harness and seat install.

Something is telling me this guy has a future in automotive mechanics

Been around some serious race cars for a few years, the routine is "can you still breathe?" if the answer is yes the belts need another yank. Seen the results of loose belts and incorrectly fitting safety gear. Keep the tips coming Kev, even the seasoned guys need a reminder now and again!

Would love to see your take on how belts should be installed. I feel that is just as important as correctly wearing them.

Great tips Kevin, my family and I started racing in the 50’s with only lap belts and a Sam Brown belt , in the 60’s people discovered you could go to an aircraft surplus and buy seat belts and shoulder harnesses, two problems, the were old and used and only 2” wide, and you quickly learned people didn’t know how to mount them. I remember when we bought our first set of racing belts, still only 2” but the quality was so much better, some of the horror stories about people not knowing how to mount them became apparent after a crash unfortunately. Some even mounted them to the aluminum seat. This was midgets and sprint cars, in July of 1974 my brother was involved in a horrible crash that flipped him on top of the wall which resulted in him loosing his right hand, we were friends with Bill Simpson and used his belts and race suits, he came to the hospital and stated designing arm restraints, he tried several different styles, but because of his dedication to safety, there have been a lot less arm injuries. I’m so glad you put this video out, so many people don’t understand how important seat mounting is. I was watching JJ the boss strap his tiny wife into a car he normally would drive with common pillows under and behind her, and she wrecked the car, as she flipped she was at least 6” out of the seat, her feet actually touched the right door, luckily she was ok, I took the time to email him but it didn’t do any good because I’ve seen them still do it with the girls swapping car. When you are bouncing around in a race car all it takes is an impact with the cage to receive a closed head injury. Thanks for a great video, I still say you are a great fabricator and your attention to detail and safety is second to none. It amazes me how some people will cheap out on safety equipment, seats have come a long way. And yes you drive by the seat of your pants.

One of the things I’ve learned is being belted in tightly means that your arms and legs only need to be used to do drive and control the vehicle, rather than help hold you in the seat. On a street car, slide the seat back a few notches, pull the belt right, reef the tensioner so it locks, then slide the sweet forward. The difference in steering feel through your hands is amazing. Love the tech tip dr. Kevin! Keep ‘em coming!

For the pollen, in the 60's, city developers were planting trees to make cities look appeasing. While doing so, they planted all male trees(pollen producer). Reasoning being that the fruit and pods from female trees would be hard to clean every year. All male trees and no females to catch pollen ends im a bad time. I feel ya allergy sufferers

How does he make getting buckled in a car interesting? I watched all 24 minutes and at the end I was like “wtf I want more!”

Thank you for the video and, more importantly, thanks for your concern. The best part about this kind of video is that you are not trying to sell anything other than the safety itself which is supposed to be common sense for racers.

Good stuff Kevin, it’s exactly the miss use of harnesses that most Australian states have made them illegal in road cars. Something of note tho is you should race with you visor down as it’s an extra layer of fire protection if you get engulfed in flames in a bad crash 👍 keep the vids coming mate you are doing great

Kevin gives such good information at no charge as well!! I watch his channel because of how detailed he is and all of the wisdom and explanations he provides. Such a good-hearted and caring guy. I feel like I should be paying to watch these! Thanks Kevin!!!! Please keep it up! We all need the advice(even the stubborn bullheaded people need it too)!!!!!!

Great channel Kevin. Your technical info mixed with the time lapse is enjoyable to watch.

Thanks for the video! People don't realize how important this stuff is!

I’ve seen footage from inside race cars after a crash where, despite the driver thinking his belts were tight, he still hit the steering wheel with his helmet and bent it all out of shape. Had a quick look but couldn’t find the footage. Excellent topic!

Thank you man. I think I speak for everyone when I say that. Your content is rich with knowledge.

Good job Kevin, something so important that can be overlooked so easily,yet so important to not only to keep you alive but to prevent even the slightest injury that no one needs. Thanks again Kevin.😎👍💯💙

I hope videos not Mullet related start to pick up on views like your Mullet videos do because they’re always super informative and interesting so a ton of people are missing out!

It’s amazing how after just a few hot laps your belts relax. Every caution I snug myself up. Got bit in turn 11 at Homestead speedway broke my wrist because I held the wheel but the belts hugged me well. Felt like I was hit by a cement truck the next day.

It's so awesome that you are posting on a regular basis now! You do such amazing work and giving out such great/useful information! Thank you!

This definently needed addressed, and with alot of KZreadrs and you know most of them that I watch. Thank You !!

This video could save a life. Thanks for sharing, Kevin.

We appreciate you splitting your time between Fab and KZread. And yes, I keep getting unsubscribed from a few channels and it’s also subscribed me to videos automatically. I’m not vigilant to check subscriptions weekly

This is extremely important - Great job Kevin.

Class is in session! Seeing a new KSR upload sure can make any day 100 times better! Thanks for the great content as always Kev!

Gooood morning KSR KZread channel, start Tech Talk Tuesday with kevin. Im sure plenty of racers would love the info. Greetings from the UK

Go in the pits at a sprint car race. They put a whole new meaning on tight belts.

I learn something new every time I watch Kevin

Tech talk with Kevin is actually a great idea for a series and I would watch the fuck out of it lol

I just found this channel/video, but another useful point about tight belts is that they pop open the cam lock easier when they're super tight. A test everyone should do is how fast can you get out of the car, should you need to in an emergency. If the belts are slightly loose, you have a much higher likelihood of them getting caught when you flip the unlock cam, and then you're really stuck. If they're appropriately tight, they will literally spring open.

This video comes at a good time ill be getting ready to put seatbelts in my build

Always with the great info, been waiting to see this since you mentioned it. Thanks again for all the knowledge you share with everyone!! Also the music at the end of the videos is great.

🤘😎👍 been waiting all day to sit down and watch!

Been busy lately, but glad to come back to some KSR content. Baller vids as always. Safety is top priority!

I'll admit that I started watching because of Cleetus. Over time despite not owning or racing any race cars myself I've found the process and knowledge Kevin spreads around is amazing and fun to watch. I really enjoy the more technical explanations and reasoning behind what he does. Keep it up Kevin, the content is fantastic.

Keep it up you’re doing great, love the content!

It's nice to see someone so passionate about racing and safety: )

It's seems U have endless amount of information what just coming out of U like its natural! Love these videos!

I honestly love the way you explain stuff. You have a wealth of knowledge that you’re willing to share.

Another great video Kevin. Keep them coming.

A Sunday video! Best news today! Thank you for this!

Absolutely invaluable advice. I've been racing for years and follow everything you just said. Lap FIRST, shoulder second. Make sure you can't move.

Kevin , mate that tech talk was worth its weight in Gold. The fine details of why you tighten the belts in a certain way makes total sence and for me has Belen easily over looked. So now after watching the video it will help me this coming weekend when I go racing again to change the way me and my parrtner strap ourselves into my Jet Sprint Boat.

This is a good thing, coming from a good place, and will likely save someone from an injury or worse. Good on ya, and keep it up Kevin!

I love the educational aspect of this channel. I feel so smart now, I'm even using proper spelling and punctuation. I did some work on my sisters car today and kept the motivation going. This weekend was the first in a long time with nice weather and me not preoccupied. So I fixed my trans kickdown cable. I have not been able find a replacement for years now, something weird going on and I have not been able to find one that is for this car. Soooooo, I just fixed it with a piece of string. Works great! lol

You are awesome Keven, keep up the good work.

You are doing a great job with the videos love the content and all the stuff you do

Thank you. Another superb vid. Safety must be a priority✌🏽

Somewhat related but I am on a confined space rescue team and the same thing applies to harnesses for life safety/rescue scenarios if you are comfortable in your harness it probably is going to do more damage to you than help if an accident should happen you shouldn’t take safety equipment for granted as it is designed to save your life doing what you love to do keep the videos coming they are great

Another great video, learn something every time! Thanks for sharing!

Love your videos Kevin, I have learned alot just from watching your channel. Keep up the great work!

It’s awesome to see someone that is super passionate about their craft! Kevin’s videos are the shit!

This is a good clean channel for a bunch of buddies into, keep the content coming.

I actually learned a lot from this, especially trying to get on a track for the first time ever this year. Please do some more of these. I'll definitely will be paying attention to how I set up my belts.

Ksr performance for the win , keep up the great content...

You should also go over proper mounting of harnesses and different styles, like bolt on and wrap around.

I'm in the UK and this is top content 😎❤️

Loved the admission at 7:25 ..It made me giggle. 👍

Awsome, always good to go back to basics.

Thank you Kevin, I am sure many racers will benefit from this.

This is one of the best tech videos And this could really save someone's life thanks for putting this video out I love the videos and the content keep up the great work

More tec talk please. Love to see more videos like this. Keep up the great work Kevin, all ways look forward to watching your videos.

Again above and beyond. The knowledge this man has is endless and should be listened to, keep them coming love to watch. Can't wait to see mullet done going to be a crazy car and will keep cletus super safe going fast.

Awesome info. Thanks for all you do and the motivation you give to me.

I am so looking forward to this!

I love the “How I Do It” videos!

Great info. Keep up the great work. I good learn so much. The way you to setup and fab and tell why you do it the way you go is great. Always enjoy your videos.

On the topic of feeling the car, I experienced this driving a gocart. Without and then with a seat pad. Incredible difference

Looks like we've stumbled upon one of Kevin's pet peeves! There could not be a better one! The fact you took time out of your day to make anyone that watches it safer, speaks wonders about you. Keep up the awesome work, content, tips and tricks, quality and general awesome attitude towards life!

I love how much information you give in your videos and I appreciate that because this one day can save my life or the life of others just opening the door to the sport! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again you should have way more subscribers than you do you are by far the best KZread channel when it comes to racing knowledge!

I went from kart racing (no seatbelts) to circle track racing and one of the hardest things for me to get used to was being strapped into the car in the pit lane. I felt like I couldn't breathe, couldn't see what was around me. But the thought of smashing my head against the roll bars has kept me pulling the belts as tight as I can, and once you're on track and focused on racing you barely notice them anyway.

I really enjoyed this vid Kevin. Even though I don't race, I've learned so much from watching your channel. I think every YT racer whether they're drifting, drag racing or road racing should watch this vid. What peeves me off the most about some racers, they'll wear seat belts in their race cars but refuse to wear them when driving their everyday cars. On another note. I watched the replay of the Trans Am race at Sebring today and it was definitely a fun race with Lee driving very well knowing you lost the in-car footage. I also plugged your channel in the Live Chat (it was a Premier vid) and hopefully you gain more subs. Cheers!

Great work. Much more informative, precise and honest that other channels "building racecars".

Your the best on comments but your content is what we come for!

Thank you for inserting the whole pass in your clip lol I was expecting it to cut off when you finished staging but the clip kept going 😁

The Texas gulf coast is just as bad with pollen. I have 2 live oak trees in my front yard and soon my blue truck will turn yellow. Great overview of seatbelts. I would just add regular inspections and check the date of manufacture. Definitely don't want a strap or buckle failure on impact.

Very knowledgeable and useful, thankyou for the insite! Tips like these save lives, all the best from the UK!

Great explanation. The more you give your internals to move the worse off you are in an accident. That's why they have pretensioners in road cars too.

If I ever get done with school, I really want you to build a car for me. Your attention to detail is unrivaled. Keep on making great content!

Great vid! A nice follow up with mounting angles for the belts and seat inclinations would be awesome too.

Great video love the educational stuff kev!

Really good video I love that you got on to the harnesses for people that are racing on KZread because I did break a collarbone for having my belts to loose on impact keep up the good work I love the videos and I'll keep watching until there's no longer KZread

Interesting and informative Kevin. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
