    And a quick fit check, they don't really work yet.
    Too low, needs alignment, needs preload adjustment, needs camber adjustment,
    also need to bat-roll the fenders. :oops:

    I hate to be a debbie downer but that is a horrible way to mount your harness. I see it all the time and it makes me cringe. The harness should be mounted on a harness bar or roll cage so the belts are flat with the top of the seat and shoulder area. If there is too aggressive of an angle from the mounting point to your shoulders and you were to get in an accident it can compress and crush your spine. If you don't have a harness bar, roll bar, or roll cage in your car, you really should not install a racing harness in your car, because there is really no other way to do it safely.

    Yes sir, Thank you. What Cole is saying is very true. I should have probably mentioned that in my post.

    This thread is not a good example for installation as far as seat belt harness' are concerned.

    DO NOT run your belts in this fashion!!! (DO NOT try this at home) lol

    I felt comfortable installing the belts like this knowing it will never be my DailyDriver or my racecar...
    And it will never be getting a large amount of use.
