Other than that you should look at the cam lock type belt, it'll cost a little more but worth every penny. it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

I like the bolt ons best I drill a hole thru the roll bar cross bar behind the seat and bolt both shoulder harness to that location Make sure your crossbar meets NHRA specs in realation to your shoulders when sitting in the seat first , if that is a concern at your local tracks The harness attaching point is suppose to be no lower than 6 inches below your shoulder, if I remember correctly, check the rule book to make sure what the exact spes. are Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

And wouldnt it count as a 4-point if you only had one attaching point for the shoulder belts on the crossbar? Arent 5-point supposed to have two attach-points for the shoulder belts? //Chris
