Eye Bolt installation for
Snap-On and Carabine Brackets
Eye bolts for snap-on brackets may be installed either to
• anchor point provided by the car manufacturer or
• anchor points provided by the roll cage manufacturer
• a newly created anchor point in conjunction with a proper reinforcement
plate [see “Accessories and Spare Parts”]
I NSTALLATION M ATERIAL AND T OOLING NEEDED :
• Eye bolt
• Spring washer (1 or 2 ea)
• strong screw driver or metal bar or wrench for eye bolt tightening
• in case of newly created anchor point: reinforcement plate
• Assemble eye bolt and spring washer as shown in
sketch beside.
• Bolt in eye bolt and tighten securely. The optimum
torque setting is 40 Nm (350 lbinch). Pull either screw
driver or similar tool through eye and turn clockwise to
tighten the bolt securely.
• Make sure the eye’s ring is pointing in direction of pull as shown in
drawing below. This position will reduce the risk of unintended
loosening of the eye bolt by torque forces applied by the harness
during racing. If you cannot achieve this position by further tightening
or loosening the bolt by a maximum of ¼ turn, dismount the eye bolt
and use 2 spring washers to come closer to the recommended
position.
If you need a raised snap-on point, some of the SCHROTH stainless steel
bolt-in brackets can be used as adapters. For further information see
section “Bolt-in Brackets”.
Lock Nut Carabiner
Definitions:
1. The webbing must always be positioned on the smaller section of the
triangular carabiner. The lock nut must always be positioned in the
free section between the eye bolt and the webbing.
2. The lock nut always must fully catch the counter thread. No thread
turn must remain free from the lock nut.
