what has everyone done with there harness mounting points? im using a 6 point harness and at curent only have enough points to mount the shoulder straps. and one lap strap so will need to get some welded in. has anybody got pics of what they have done? would make it alot easier to explain to my welder what i want done if i have a pic.

cheers

Drill a hole in the transmission tunnel and bolt an FIA approved eye bolt in with the backing plate, you do not have to weld anything just bolt it in and off you go! :D

If you insist on using 6 points you will have to do the same with the other 2 points where you see fit!

The extra 2 points are just a couple of holes through the floor under the seat, so may as well stick with a 6 point.

Single skin, just drill through and bolt the eyes into a spreader plate underneath.
