I found myself really hangin on tight to the wheel while AXing last year because my stock 3 pt belts did not match the G-forces as I cranked through turns. Adding harnesses this year is a MUST, for AX and my late 07-2008 DE/track goal. I plan to keep the OK backpad and drill through it to mount the top straps through the firewall. I also "want" to get long eye bolts that I can bolt through my stock belts at the lower mounts, keep the stock belts, and clip in the lower belts for weekend AX duties.
Sound like an OK plan? Any PCA or SCCA rules to watch out for? What would youz guyz advize for harness brands and styles?? I want to spend $300 or less for a pair of black 5-point harnesses. How much better is the cam lock vs. latch? Pull up or pull down? I like the IMPACT Racing 5-pt adjustable latch and the G-Force 5-pt cam so far, these both fit my budget.
