I was wondering if anyone is using aftermarket seatbelts, or seats? Or steering wheels for that matter. The earlier "pre 90s" cars were no concern but modern cars like ours have seatbelt pretensioners, airbags in the steering wheel and I think in the seats. I've seen some aftermarket seats that would look pretty nice with a set of 5 point harnesses. That going along with a nice sporty steering wheel would be great. If any one has done this, please post a picture.
A 5 point harness should not be used for a street car. In case of a roll over, a 5-point harness would prevent you from being able to move your head out of the way if the roof caves in, unless you have a roll cage. But then that would be unsafe too, because you can crack your skull against the cage.
Your insurance agency can refuse to cover you if they find out you replaced your steering wheel with one without an airbag.
These things were designed for race cars, so they shold only be used for use on a race track, unless you want to drive around with a helmet on.
yea, harnesses with out a roll bar is just dumb. but u dont need a cage. just a roll bar (4-6pt, bolt in or weld in) with a proper harness mount. and yea, basicly u should never use 4-points harnesses, u wouldnt want to submarine in and accident either.
