What to look for in Seatbelt Harnesses

Hey all,

 

Now I've got some new seats in, I want to look at the ability to install some harnesses - these won't be used for daily driving though. (I've still got my standard belts in place)

 

Because of the very limited use these will get, I don't want to spend loads of money on them.

 

I've got the Sparco Harness bar fitted across the rear of the seats (as per Sharpie's thread - http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=36741&page=3) So would need some harnesses to wrap around this.

 

What should I be looking at? 3 or 4 point harnesses? Personally I think 4 point, but everything I find has clips/bolt-ons rather than wrapping around the bar. Not really sure what the difference is though.

 

Any links/suggestions would be great - I think I'd remove these from the harness bar and tuck them under the seats when not in use.

 

Oh - they need to be black too :)

 

Cheers folks

All the belts I find have bolting points on the end of each section - the two shoulder straps I need to wrap around my harness bar...

 

What exactly do I ask for/call them? Obviously the wrong ones are referred to as bolt-in?

What are peoples views on using harnesses without a rollcage?

 

The reason I ask is that with harnesses they hold you firmly in position, this is all very good until the car flips onto its unsupported roof and you take the weight down your head, neck and spine.

 

With a roll cage this would not be an issue.

 

With normal seat belts and no cage you still have a resonable amount of freedom to get thrown out of the way.

 

 

Discuss :D

I would only use harnesses in a track situation, it's probably not going to be insured on a track, if I crash on a track where this sort of imense damage occurs I'd rather die :D
