So I'm not planning to race the car I'm working on, but was thinking about the seatbelts. Would it make any sense to put 5-pt belts in it to increase safety? Would it help to make up for lack of air bags? Does it even make sense without a roll cage?

Oh and there are lots of belt manufactures out there, I only trust my life with Schroth belts. I can go with lots of others, and lots of big names. That being said, I am willing to pay a bit extra upfront to reduce the downside. Downside in the case could be death, or disability. Neither sound like a road I want to take because I saved a few $100 dollars.
Death is in all of our cards, so thats not a choice, but it is a choice if I buy an Ebay special and test it with a sudden unplanned deceleration maneuver and knock on death's door. I'll get there soon enough with out my CSOBitist causing me to be there before it was planned. |
