what do you think of this and has anybody used one, also i know this has been askd before but is it ok to mount 4 point harnesses to the rear seat belt mounts at thebottom as i was under the impression that harnesses could be no more than 25 degrees or summat.

they should be able to mount to the cage by the look of things mate, it has a nice flat cross bar across the back which would be nicelty behind the rear seats.

You loop the belts round the cross bar and then fasten them to themselves with an adjuster buckle.

dont know why but it seems a bit expensive to me??

im going to the rear seat belt mount bolts with my harnesses. im not saying this is the best place but ive seen quite alot go there.
the ideal place is the middle of the rear bulkhead but im not going there as personally i think it would need alot of strenghting.

i think once that cage is in that that cross part will be a bit to high up to mount your harnesses to as horizontal is a no no apparently.

In that picture, the rear bars are "wider" than the main hoop fastening points. They are NOT such on e Mini.
