Default 5pt harness question

i know that you arent supposed to have the harnesses at 90*, but is it better to have them at less than 90* or more than.

Since you should be mounting the shoulder straps to a rollbar you will find a harness bar on the rollbar itself for mounting them on.

As close to horizontal as possible. Your rollbar will have a bar that accomplishes this perfectly.

Georgy likes to pick apart our syntax.

Besides we cant tell him how far from the floor since driver height, seat, seat mounting etc will all be different.

hmm *****-Hey, your post above has absolutely nothing to do with the topic on hand. Please stop post whoring.

Back on topic. I think he'd select 2-3" when one says "a few" but possible not.

i now fell dumb because of this gaytarded conversation.

Thanks G-K for being helpful, and the others as well that participated intelligently.

so now, the way it should go is, about 4-6" below the horizontal line drawn from the shoulder height?

Would it be ok to bolt it up to where the top bolt for your rear seat belt went?
