Got my harnesses in the other day and installed them. The brand is G-Force and they are sfi approved and all. The are cam lock so the can easily be fastened and released. I fastened the two side straps by putting them over the rear seat bolt holes and the bolting the seat down over them. The two rear straps I fastened to my cusco strut tower brace. I wouldn't trust the stock brace for this though. The 5th point I haven't installed yet, as I have nothing to anchor it to. I was thinking of getting a pair of right angle steel brackets and welding a pipe between them, and running that between the front seat bolts to use as an anchor. I dunno yet. I also need to get some longer seat bolts as I don't think there is enough thread to safely hold the seats and the harnesses.

Here are some pics

how I mounted the rear

all that and still stock bose stereo LOL

I bolted the side restraints down underneath the seat rail. I'm going to put in longer bolts so there is more thread to grip and try turning the anchor so the belts aren't twisted as much.

Hey, at least I don't have $10k in stereo equipment in a stock car like some people do :rice:

yup https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

I need to get some shoulder pads so they don't dig into my neck too.

Do you feel to confined with them on?

I haven't driven with them yet. Still waiting for stupid differential to come. I did strap myself in and pretended to drive though. Felt good. You can't move around like with the stock belts cause these don't give slack. I left the stock belts in for regular driving.

omg, dude your gonna die in a crash!!! Those wrap around type are for rollbar only, not for mounting to your strut tower bar (I don't give a crap how well your aftermarket strut tower bar is!). Why you might ask, well in a crash, that strut tower bar can bend and you will go flying foward and you will probally die (I'd bet cash money on it) https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/violin.gif It's your life and you can do what ever you want but I'm just letting ya know, you installed it very wrong!





BTW: All the points need a 4-5 inch solid 1/4 inch square steel reinforcement brackets or their gonna let loose and your gonna go flying! Also, welding anything to the body is not gonna hold up in a crash. I don't really know if your trying to go for the safty or the riceboy type of effect. Also note that if you have a real 5pt safty harness and have it installed correctly, you will not beable to duct to the side if you roll and the roof might crush you so you do need a roll bar/cage (I say a cage is needed, I crap on roll bars). Also note that if you got a roll bar/cage, you do need a helmet cuz in a crash, your head will go smacking into everything like a pinball in a pinball machein! It's an all or nothing type of deal here when it comes to safty.



Good luck and for godsakes, don't use that 5pt safty harness the way its setup!



Ok a last note is that the side seatbelts should go across your hips and should not be above, if it is, it might lacerate your liver or other internal organs in a crash. K thats it for now

yeah, dude. Skunks is right. You should calculate the force you body exerts when going from 60-0 in .5 seconds. Then decide if your STB can support that much shear (not sheer) force. I wouldn't worry so much about the aluminum cylinder as the support plate(s) at either end that the aluminum is bolted to. I calculated that I need at least 210,000 PSI tensile strength to stop me in a mild accident. Any less than that, and I'm taking my life into my hands.

Ok, here is how i put in my 5-point sabelt harness. I used the factory seat belt mount with the factory bolts for the lapbelts. And i mounted the shoulder straps to the roll cage. Mounting the shoulder straps to the rear brace isnt near as strong as the cage, but its better than other installations ive seen. Always mount the shoulder harness at shoulder height. That way when you crash, it doesnt rip your shoulders out of their sockets. And try to use the factory mounts and bolts, as they are designed and tested to work under extreme stress.

gimme a break i'm 16 i need my ghetto booty music sounding good to be cool :bigok:

LOL... Uh, yeah.

Check the SCCA and http://www.carsrally.ca/ sites or get a book. They have all the specs on installation plus some drawings in the books.
