Default Seat Harness

All of you Autocross guys, I am having a wolf 6pt roll cage installed. I will be keeping my sport seats and I want to know what type of seat harness is available and where to buy them from

Check out Crow seat belts --- www.crowenterprizes.com. They make a full range of 5 and 6 point harnesses that are SFI rated. I prefer their "cam lock" rather than the lever type. It is a very easy twist of a **** to undo and a click to lock like a seat belt to latch. Prices are reasonable too. Order direct.

I like the crow because it has the detent that makes it easier to unlatch. Prices are very resonable as well. Camlock is the way to go.

6pt is the way to go. Latch-link works fine for me, but I really wish I'd have gotten the 6pt over the 5pt. <--spoken as a soprano

I love my TeamTech JetPilot(s) that I bought from [supporting vendor] Hardbar.

Whichever brand you buy (I use Simpson) make sure you do not wrap the sub belt over the front of the seat cushion. It either goes through the cushion to a mount under the seat or you buy one of the mounting kits that has you sit on the sub strap (BK, Hardbar).

as mentioned in the other thread - BK sub-mount brackets is the way to go. Sets the sub-belt in the proper position and is an easy install. Here is the link to the install

The Hardbar lap belt bar is very easy to install and in addition to having an even better angle for the lap belts, it also has provisions for the sub belts for either a 5 or 6 point harness. Please see following post for details.

I looked at Crow's website and their Corvette 6-Way belt seemed close but not exactly what I wanted. Called Crow and they said "We're like Burger King, we'll make it the way you want it." Long story short, I got exactly what I wanted and at a very reasonable price. Thanks for the tip.
