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 |

QUOTE (94bird @ Dec 4 2004, 10:52 PM) As Kevin says, for low speed handling events only. If you are strapped in with a 5 pt. harness and the car rolls, your head has nowhere to go if the roof caves in. For high speed events a rollbar is the minimum needed. What he said! I know of some clubs where instructors won't run if you have a 5pt, and no rollbar for the reasons mentioned above. Even with a rollbar or cage, proper mounting is critical (angles, mounts, etc.). |
