i recently aquired a RCI "v-style" 3 point harness with the optional anti sub belt.

as the sholder straps merge into one monting strap is it safe to mount it to the rear bumber support bolt in the trunk. with the rear seats folded down.

as this mounts so far back it gives the strap a better angle as opposed to mounting it to the rear seat belt.

i also tried mounting it to the c pillar as some manufactures suggest but this makes my right sholder tight and leaves my left looser.

RCI didnt provide much of an installation guide. i am looking at a roll bar or at least a harness bar in the near future but this is just for the time being...

thanks

 

sorry forgot to mention this is on an integra
and this is the bolt im talking about


obviously not my car

been looking into getting one, but altough a roll bar wont take me out of STS the fact that i have to remove speakers would

 

Why would you have to remove speakers? Back when I had my 98 Teg I put an autopower roll bar in and I kept the rear speakers. It was a very tight squeeze if I remember.

I'll see if I can dig up photos.

 

ya i would love to see that

 

I have a v style impact racing harness.

I mounted it to the rear upper seat belt mount.

The angle that the shoulder belts should make are between down 5 degrees and up 30 and it easily falls in this range.

You can notice it a little being off to one side but its really not bad.

I only use it for autocross so please dont start the whole harness cage debate thing.

 

ya this is for autox so also

i tried it on the c pillar rear belt but it just felt really off and slightly uncomfortable.

 

3 Point Schroth Rallye 3 in my old Type R...



And yea, having it mounted to the C pillar looks unusual but it seemed to work fine for autocross, and its the way Schroth recommends the 3 point be installed.

 

Is it possible to use the anti-sub belt with that harness on a stock seat?

(p.s. I am going to dig up those autopower roll bar pics when i get home)

There is no sub-belt for a Rallye 3. It has Schroth ASM (anti submarining mechanism) so you don't need a sub-belt. Using a sub-belt with stock seats is generally a no-no anyways because you have to run the sub strap over the front of the seat cushion, which is not the right way to do it and it really compromises the effectiveness of the sub-belt.
