I'm wanting to get a 5 pt harness, but I don't have a roll cage, and don't want to bucher up the interior of my car. What is the best way to mount the shoulder straps? any pictures?

Thanks

Most belts require a certain mounting position relative to your body. Take a look at the belt specs and moutning requirements. Sparco I know gives you a 3-5 degree window of mouting options for correct installation. I would strongly encourage using a harness bar if anything for low speeds. However, they are not required and other than looking kind of cool, did nt really do much for me in auto cross. Plenty of other things to spend $ on. As for high speed raod racing, I am in the process now of building a car and I gutted the car, mounted my seat, spoke to my fabricator, and using the Sparo instructions, figured where to postion the cross bar as to optimize the belts performance.

Anyway, best of luck, I woudl just ask my self "what am I really going to so with tthe car" before I spend $
