Default 5-point seatbelts with factory seats?

Has anyone installed 5-point seat belts with factory seats?

What seatbelts did you use?

Are they street legal and are they SCCA Solo 2 B-stock legal?

Thanks,
Don

You're going to need a cage with the harnesses for SCCA. Besides, its dangerous not being able to "duck" if you roll the car.

There are numerous debates on the roll bar issue just do a search and you'll get some ideas to form your own opinion. Same with the 5pt on stock seats search I have seen some but cant remember who.

I think he meant that stock rollbars weren't adequate for 5 point harnesses.

Basically, you want to make sure your head is well under the rollbar so that it hits the ground before your head.

And how does this "duck" argument keeping cropping up?
