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?

A car without a roll cage can get unsafer from 4 or 5 point belts.
With the stock 3 point belt you can twist towards the middle of the car incase of a rollover that starts to compromise the cabin height. With a 5 point harness you are stuck upright and have no cage to help keep the cabin height intact. |
