Street Track Car - Roll Hoop and belt suggestions Options

[Justinp71]

What setup for roll protection and belts do you guys like to use for a street/track car? I am looking to update / redo my setup soon and looking for what you guys have done.

I currently run a roll hoop that bolts to the floor and belts that are bolted to the firewall (but not very adequately). I'm kind of ruling out a harness bar due to the reports of the belts being mounted a little high.

Does a roll hoop even really add much protection with the 914 having the targa bar? Does anyone know why they added them to the 914 gt? Maybe for a more high speed crash?

I think that’s why they only allow the h style cause it has a breast clip that keeps the shoulder straps together.

Just googled this quickly. Belts that have breast clips between the shoulder harnesses seem to be mostly "tuner" style belts, and the breast clips look kinda small.

The problem with stock seats is the gradual taper that from the headrest down to the shoulder/back area. Depending on where you mount the belts and how tall the driver is, you can have a situation where the belts ride on the tapered portion of the seat, and in a frontal impact the force of the occupant's weight pushing into the belts, combined with the taper on the seat, will literally pry the belts off the shoulders. I wouldn't trust a little breast clip to help keep the belts in place.
