Seat Belts?

Has anyone installed some 4 or 6 point seatbelts? Can you use them on a 85 GSL with stock seats? If so, anyone got a picture of them installed? thanks, Rotary-Rex

You should be able to use them wouldnt they just sit under the head rest area?and maybe bolt them to your floor board and maybe a brace under the car if you dont have a rollcage.

If the angle of the belts is not correct they can be very dangerous. Correct me if I'm wrong you want the belts to come almost strait back off the back of the seat.

I'm using the rear seat belt mounting points for mine ... (not an option for you guys I suppose)

yes the angle of the rear belts is very important, if you have them going straight down behind the seat they can be very very dangerous, racing regulations should have guidlines on how they should be fitted too

Has anyone ever noticed how the stock lap belt rides over your stomach instead of across your hips? I'd hate to see what happens to someone's guts in a frontal accident.
