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?

yes it also states HANS in that post but the diagram was just a mere example....search any where 0-30* is the known accepted range

but should i also let you know that the 6gc is NOT approved by that company for installion of their products

Can I install the SCHROTH tuning belts in to any car?
SCHROTH belts should be installed ONLY into approved vehicles

they only have approved points and tests for the sub 94 celicas

but like i said its your car you do what you want but don't go around telling people stuff all willy nilly without being able to back yourself up.

though i really do like the schroth harnesses...i will be ordering a set in the future with proper installion geometry
