5 pt Harness securing



Could Harnesses be attached to a rear strut brace?
Then each time you needed them you could just pop the rear seats down.

Just an idea,

Adam.

When I was looking at that spot to put seom screws in for my system, it
looks like the tank is almost flush with the floor. I had an 88 16v though,
there's a slim chance it's different. Underneath your rear seat should be a
round cap thing. Unscrew it (3 or 4 screws holding it down) and you can see
the gas tank to get a general idea of clearance.

 Mostly what I wanted to know was if there was room between the top of the
 gas tank and the floor to attatch the hooks? I know I would have to drop
 the
 tank to do this but thats the minor problem.
