hi people, was just wondering how most of you put harnesses in your car, i want to keep the rear seats for passengers and dont want them to have to scramble over them, i hear some people run them down the back of the seats to a plate welded on the floor, any advise would be great thanks.

DO NOT DO THAT!

there is a certain angle straps must be at (45-90 degrees usually).

If you dont do this and crash the seat colapses and the belts snap your spine!

You let them suffer...

one in the middle at the rear :p

If you want the race look you compromise on road car funactionality, always a problem, I took my mini off the road to solve that problem!

Alex is spot on

you can buy belts from shrouthrthihght (sp) *tongue*

these allow passengers to get in the back

personally i dont know why anyone would take passengers thats why we have bus's

Recently got some willans harnesses and they suggest keeping the tail straps as short as possible, either going horizontal or no more than 20 degrees below the horizontal for optimum restraint *smiley*
