4 pt harness question.

I've got a 95 vert that I'm tring to install a Momo 4pt safety harness. How do I bolt it up? I think I can use my existing mount points for the two lap straps but where behind my seat do I mount the two shoulder straps? Does someone make a harness bar or something. I won't have a rollbar for a while so that option is out.

Also I have a Corbeau GT8 seat and was wondering who has used there install brackets and do the brackets lift the race seat to the same height and angle as the stock seats.

You could use this: http://www.lgmotorsports.com/page.cf...g2#harness-bar
But if you have a vert and you roll, your dead if your seat doesn't break back. My seat has a solid shell (as in 1 piece). If yours is this way, if you ever get upside down, then your head is going to take the impact of the car w/out the rollbar being there. Make sure that the mounting point isnt more than a few inches lower than the holes in your seat back for the shoulder straps. If you hit something from the front and your seat gives, the belts wont. and if they are mounted below your shoulders too far, your body will compress into a circle. Kind of yucky to think about. So this bar will keep that from happening, just dont roll it It takes the mounting point for your rear seatbelts, and you can interchange them to but your belts back in. I have heard that you can do the change yourself in aboug 1/2 hour, but I have never tried. You also dont need to cut anything from what Im told.

Good luck!

Ya I was looking at that but I don't think it will bolt in to my convertible. It's too damn expensine anyway-I could almost buy a weld in cage for that price. I'll probably make something similar myself. Where should I bolt down the two lap portion ends? To the existing seatbelt anchors on either sides of the front seat?

My lap belts share the mount with my stock belts. I have a 5 point so I put one under the seat through the floor. Also its nice to run your belt through the seat, and just snap it over your 4 point when your racing. Otherwise its going to rub your neck raw since the guide leaves w/ the stock seat. I run the shoulder belt through the left top and left bottom holes, and when I buckle it I just go over the seat rather than through the right side bottom hole. Too much time to take it off if I had to quickly otherwise.
