Default 4 point harness

I just got 3pt Corbeaus and i do not like them. Too angled to the back seat.

I have a harness bar behind the seat that i'd like to "strap" them too, should i just get a set of 5pts and deadline the submarine strap?

Any suggestions of brands ? (corbeau's have a 4pt, but i cant see how it would wrap around the harness bar, as those appear to bolt to the rear seat belt holes as well)

Thanx for the input and links Scotty....ima thinking the Scroth's. The Simpson's are too big and bulky for a mostly street car, and the Scroths make a "less" submarineable 4pt, so i ordered that thru a Bay Area distributor.

Went thru your seat belt thread last nite though....better to go thru the thread than thru the windscreen....(bad huh? E for effort) good luck with the stoppers

And i cant find a "local" Sabelt distributor, socal so far...

Depending on how much you drive the car...........having a 3 point retractable and a 5-point system for competition would be the ideal CONVENIENCE.

Not yet as the car rarely sees the track, for now.

But the Scroths are on intergalatic back order.

So the hunt continues for a "streetable" 4pt that can mount too my harness bar.

Siegster, i had previously looked at three of those four before your recommendations and i ll look a little deeper now. But i was trying to get them before the feb 28th event...

does anybody know if the back bolt in part can be used over the harness bar vs welding the tabs to the harness bar?

Ron Sutton would be a great one to ask about these. I haven't seen him around much lately but it couldn't hurt to give him a call.

I figured out today that I should be able to use my factory 3 point belts with my new race seats and slip the 5 point harnesses I'm going to buy for race days which is the best of both worlds. Hope you can figure something similar out.

Does your car have 3 point belts now?

It did but the guy who did my rear stuff took them out for the headliner guy and since they were such a pain to take out due to the roll bar being in the way he "made" me use the Corbeau's (i had bought them from him some time back)...

Ive been meenin to call Ron, but it looks like he only handles Simpson and their too race track and 5pts....i will see him next weekend in thunderhill though.

Hopefully i'll remember too call him tomorrow....

I'm planing on putting the Simpson 5 points in my car and flipping them out of the way and running the factory 3 points on the street. Ron told me he likes the shoulder belts to bolt to the harness bar instead of wrapping around it, this keeps the belts from sliding sideways on the harness bar.

This street car vs race car identity crisis is a drag isn't it.
