Default harness with leather seats

i was wondering if i could fit a 5 point harness with my stock seats? i like the luxury feel of the seats and they do hold you in nicely or should i try and find a nice looking bucket seat?

Harnesses with Stock seats are a safety issue. The stock seats were designed for a 3 point belt, not a 5 point harness. I.E. no shoulder holes and not sub hole.

You also need to have a Roll bar to properly mount the 5 point hanesses.

What you should look into is a CG-Lock ( http://www.ricks2k.com/products/cglock.php ) or the Modifry Seat belt lock ( http://www.modifry.com/products/sbl/index.htm )

I have used both.

What he said (only he said it with more detail and experience). A harness that keeps you planted upright in the seat in a rollover situation is a safety hazard. The OEM design relies on your upper body being able to slide sideways in a rollover.
