Purchased these wonderful seats
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/tpcracing.net-10654-1314579319.1.jpg) and now that I am really getting the car sorted I would like to be safer... Is there an options for a harness bar that mounts behind the seats to mount a set of 4 point harnesses? Don't really want to run a sub belt for street driving although the seats have a spot for them... I honestly wouldn't mind something that also went across the door down towards the front of the floor if it all was integrated and worked well.. Any help? Would be great if i didn't lose any of the seat travel as I am a tall guy. Thanks in advance! |

I both Agree & Disagree with Dave's assessment
The waist Belt needs to be in proper alignment, BUT I have seen a lot of Shoulder Belts installed improperly and those seats do not have an Alignment slot like a racing seat has. Therefore the Belt could easily slip out of where you want it. Also misinstalled Shoulder Belts can lead to Compression Fractures in your back in a crash. Sub Straps are there to prevent you from Submarining forward under the waist belt in a hard collision, not for proper alignment of your waist belt, even though it is often used that way |
