Default 5 pt. Harness.....Help!

What do you guys recommend? Is the Cam-lock feature worth it?

And how did you install the crotch belt and the rear belts? Would a Y-style belt be easier to install the rears. If it makes a difference, I have the Wolfe 6pt. Cage.

Thanks,
Scott

Scott,
Give me a call tomorrow after 4pm PST. I'll get you hooked up on the belts and let you know how to hook them up.

The cam lock is worth it if you want less hassle and have $100 extra to spend. Depending on what type of seat you have a "y" or "v" will work better.

As for the submarine belt, I just bent some metal channeling and installed it under the front seat bolts.

I just bought a 5 way cam-lock y-type wrap around style Simpson harness. I hope it works well! <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Do these work with the stock seats?

i just have a normal latch style RJS harness. i went for the normal latch since im cheap, and it didnt bother me at all as my everyday driver. i got the lap belts that have clip ends on them and anchor bolts that go through the floorpan. for the shoulder harness i got separate wrap around belts since my seat sits right against the cross bar on the cage. i tried a bolt on y-harness and a wrap around y-harness and just couldnt make it work. i have a wrap around crotch strap. look at Wolfe's site, they have a nice crotch strap bracket for $35. its very easy to copy yourself if you want to save the $

yup. and per the NHRA rulebook, if you are using a stock seat you can route the crotch strap in front of it, instead of through the seat as you would have to in any aftermarket seat
