Best Road-Legal 4-Point Harness for an MEV Exocet: Our Top Recommendation
Harness guide
A customer asked us: could we recommend a road legal 4 point harness for an MEV Exocet that attaches to the harness bar? The Exocet is a light, kit built car with an exposed frame, so the harness has to suit the car's layout as well as the road rules.
Our recommendation was the TRS Clubman clip in 4 point harness. It is ECE road approved, has long enough shoulder straps to reach the Exocet's harness bar, and clips in and out without tools. Here is why we chose it, what to check before fitting, and the alternatives.
- Our pick for the MEV Exocet: the TRS Clubman clip in 4 point harness
- ECE road approved, for road use and non competitive track days
- 50mm (2 inch) webbing and a push click buckle
- Snap hooks on the strap ends clip to eyebolts, so it comes out without tools
- Not FIA approved, so not for competition that requires an FIA harness

Why the TRS Clubman clip in 4 point
The TRS Clubman clip in 4 point is the best selling harness on our site, and it suits a car like the Exocet well. It is a road and track day harness that gives far more hold than a standard belt, without the cost of an FIA competition harness.
- ECE road approved, for road use and non competitive track days.
- Long shoulder straps, which reach back to the harness bar on an open car like the Exocet.
- 50mm (2 inch) webbing throughout: strong without being bulky.
- Push click buckle, as easy to use as a factory belt.
- Sub strap between the legs, which stops the driver sliding forward under hard braking.
- Clip in fitting: snap hooks on the strap ends attach to eyebolts.
- Nine colours, including black, red and blue, to suit the car.
The approval is on the pack and on the harness: the Clubman carries ECE road approval, shown here as E8. That is what makes it road legal, as opposed to an FIA harness, which is homologated for competition.
The pink version shown is one of the nine colours. They are all the same harness underneath.
Fitting it to an MEV Exocet
On the Exocet, the shoulder straps go back to the harness bar behind the seats, and the lap straps and sub strap go to mounting points low in the car. The Clubman’s shoulder straps are long enough to reach the bar without being stretched to their limit.
Because it is a clip in harness, each strap ends in a snap hook that clips to an eyebolt. So every mounting point, including those on the harness bar, needs a suitable, strong eyebolt fixing. Check how your car’s bar and floor are set up before ordering. If the bar does not have suitable mounting points, a bolt in harness or different fittings may suit better, and we can help work that out.
The harness is not FIA approved, so it cannot be used in events that require an FIA harness. For road use and track days, it is a safe, sensible and good value choice.

Clip in or bolt in?
TRS make the Clubman in both fittings, and the choice depends on how you use the car.
Clip in
- Snap hooks clip onto eyebolts, so the harness comes out in minutes without tools.
- The eyebolts stay in the car, ready for the next track day.
- Suits cars used on the road and on track, where you want to take the harness out.
Bolt in
- The strap ends bolt directly to the mounting points.
- A more permanent fit, and it takes longer to install or remove.
- Suits dedicated track cars, or cars where the harness always stays in.
For most Exocet owners who use the car on the road and on track, clip in is the practical choice. If the harness will never come out, bolt in is a neat, permanent alternative.
Other TRS road harness options
The Clubman range includes 3 point and 4 point harnesses, in clip in and bolt in versions, and Superlite and Ultralite variants. A 3 point suits cars where a 4 point’s strap geometry will not work. There are also 75mm (3 inch) shoulder versions in the Clubman range.
Garreth’s advice is to sort the seat and the harness together. If you are still choosing a seat for the car, our guide to the right bucket seats for the MEV Exocet is the place to start.
