Hi,
While I'm sitting here with the computer machine on I got another question befor I "go for the Merlot". I need new belts in the car and would like to have harnesses. Any suggestions? It will be a street car and maybe a autox some day. Cam Locks or Latch? Anyone familiar with Livermore Performance. They seem to have reasonably priced belts. Any place to get Sparco at a good price? Cheers, Elliot |

If you want serious straps... get the 5-point system. The substrap helps keep the lap belts low around your pelvis so they don't slide up and break you ribs or crush your soft internal organs below your rib cage in a big crash! Yuck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)
I'm using Schroth 5-point with camlock, but I don't know much about the other locking system. They are expensive, but I found a good deal on two sets. Simpson makes belts. Check out http://www.stableenergies.com It's also best not to use a harness bar, but rather mount the safety belts to the firewall with proper backing plates. There are guidelines to follow about the angle of the belts from your shoulder to the rear wall. I didn't have the substrap mounted in this picture. Attached image(s)
