Re: 4 point harness question.

[Matthew Yip <mgyip@yahoo.com>]

Using the rear stress bar as a belt anchor should be fine provided the bar is
securely anchored to the strut towers.  Higher is better b/c when the car
rolls, the compression on your spine will be less due to the higher mounting
point. 

BTW, how do your shoulder harnesses attach?  Bolt-on or wrap around.  If you
have enough belt material, slide the bolt-on attachments off and wrap the
belts around the stress bar.  Otherwise, weld-on some tabs to the bar.
