A roll bar if you dont have one

I just used the stock seatbelt bolts and opened the holes a tiny bit on the harness ends, I used the wolfe bar for the crotch strap and used an individual wrap around shoulder harness on the crossbar of the roll bar.

If you dont have a roll I wouldnt do a 5 point harness but thats just me..

You can just drill a hole in the floor under the seat and use a couple big washers for the crotch strap, the wolfe bar bolts across the two front seat bolts. I had one here so I used it

shoulder harnesses go on the rollbars cross bar, mine has a bracket to hold the harnesses from sliding side to side, for the lap belts use the stock seat belt bolts, and i used the croch strap bar for the buckle.

Here are a few pics for the padding and the rear straps. I got a bar from thunder racing for the crotch strap. It bolts on to the front two seat bolts.
Lap straps go on the same place that your stock lap belt goes. You need a special socket , i forget the name.

I had a couple mini brackets welded in for the rear straps so they did not slide out and in.

The summit padding I had was crap. If you get it, get it in black. My pagging faded in 2 weeks.



without mini brackets for the straps they just go over the bar.


Padding. Some of the padding peeled off too. The velcro stocky did not last very long. I bought a big two sided roll of velcro and used that instead of twisty ties. easy to take the stuff on and off as needed.
