DavefromOZ Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 You may want to do some research on harness mounting before you make a bad decision. x2 Having a seatbelt mounted to the back of the seat is just going to tie you to the seat, which if you hit hard enough can tear out of the mounts & turn you into a projectile. If your set on 5 points, build a cage, or at the least a roll bar loop behind the seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, along the lines of the mounting points......if you build a cage into the body, it isn't very structural, and if you mount the harnesses too low, it can compress your spine on impact..

Hardest part is getting the tubing bent nicely and evenly, and getting the intersections cut so they fit flush and are strong..... Triangulation and gusseting are the key to a strong cage.
