Fitting 3 point race type harness to front seats.
Having done a search I see this has been asked before but there were no answers then and I as wondering if any one had any pictures or advice on how to do this.

Probably been ignored because it's a slightly confusing question.

Standard seatbelts are three point but I'm guessing you mean more of a racing harness with a central single connector.

I have a removable version from Sabelt that hooks into eyebolts on either side of the seat for the lapbelt, and has a normal seatbelt connection to joint the lapbelt at the front but also to join the two shoulder straps at the rear to a harness bar. The two shoulder straps join behind the neck in a Y fashion before the tail connector.

you would be better off with a 4point system.

does the vehicle have a cage? if so brace back to that Cheers

I would try and follow MSA spec and have done in the past on this also what seats you got?? You really shouldn't use harness with normally seats as in an impact they can slide you about and come off the shoulder not to mention cause Submarine and or the seat back to fail

Good link Thumbs Up

only thing I didn't see was relating to angular loads on the eyebolts

Would not call myself an expert on any of the C&U or MoT stuff, but I find the best way to learn is to ask questions and read stuff; and if you have read stuff that contradicts what someone says then put it to them and see where it takes you.

Kicking the facts about until the truth falls out is something I've done all my life.

On the internet, that sometimes does tend to banana off on a strange tangent though and ends up being a bit of a Censored contest :(
