5point Harness
I am trying to find a part number or something for Simpson 5 point harness with the standard latch the bolts to the floor. Looking in Summit catalog I cant tell wich one I need. I don't have a cage so thes have to bolt to the floor!
Thanks,
Corey

That's all dependent on where it's bolted to. For that reason, it's not recommended to bolt them down to the floor right behind the seats. You want as little angle as possible to avoid that result. Lots of guys use the rear seatbelt mounting points too, but that's not the safest either. I guess you'd call it the best compromise, but when I have to, I'm not gonna. Safety is too important to me.Allen Ortega

After doing some research I have come to the conclusion that I am not going to do this. At first I thought this should be a little safter then I did on the research and the general consenses(sp) is that it can cause spinal injury and that is something that is just not worth going through. If I decide to put these in my car I will put in the just the hoop that would hold the bar to mount the seatbelts to.

I wouldn't buy hardtop/convertible belts. It comes w/o sash, and that actually made installation more difficult on my car. I ended up exchanging them with standard belts.
Or you can adapt something from late model cars.
