Seat Harness mounting, following on from 'Race Seats!' thread.. Options

[raz128]

Anyone want to clear this up for me?
I've got a 4point harness on my driver seat and a 3point harness on my passenger seat
When I bought the 3-point harness. The instruction booklet said to mount the tail strap of the harness between 0-45 degrees paralell to the ground which i did on the passenger side.
After doing some research to see if i could confirm it, the Schroth harnesses said the same thing

However i did come across this:
http://www.gforce.com/pdf/harnessinstall.pdf
for those too lazy to read it (or cant run pdf files) it says it's best to mount the tail strap -5 to +30degrees from a horizontal line to shoulder height.

Which is best mount to use? The lower point under the original rear seats or on the C-pillar?
The mounting point on the C-pillar would be within -5 to +30degrees that the pdf file states. but does it satisfy the 0 to +45degree instructions by OMP and Scroth?

lol that wasn't anger i really couldn't care less about the way someone mounts their stuff. But if you're going to discuss it, you must realize the depth of the situation....which most people fail to realize...you'd be surprised at how many people here and other places I have seen that mount things all willy nilly and don't pay attention to the severity of their actions.

You have to realize the consequence of your actions....cause someone could see a setup you posted or information that is wrong..duplicate it and suffer big time for it.

that was merely "getting the point across"
posts about stuff like this should come hand in hand with some data and resources...such as the sparco site or tests and review data from certain organizations whom are responsible for the quality and safety of such products. Belts and seats = your lives


lighten up people its just the intarweb!

but to say the least your harness job still makes baby jesus cry and probably better off having it wrapped around the strut tower bar :lol:
