All in all I'm pretty confident and satisfied with the results.





Looks great Seig.

Even if you put in a 4-point roll bar, and 5 point belt system later on... you can still use the 3-point belt set up on the street. I find that with my 5-point belt system I don't use the shoulder harnesses on the street all the time... just the lap belt.

Nice work

Thanks Dale. I knew all along that I'd only use a 5 point for "special occasions" and end up using the belt only if I didn't have two systems.

Hopefully I'll come across a deal on roll bar and sub-frame connectors components in the near future.

Nice work on the belts. Very detailed write up and pictures.

Summit has DSE roll bar in stock with free shipping (to a freight terminal). That will save you at least $100 there. I'm ready to pull the trigger on that, as soon as some of my extra parts get sold.

Thanks for the heads up Tu. DSE is what I'm leaning towards, like you, a few things need to get sold first!
