anyone retro fitted full harness instead of 3point belts?

Loading thread data ...

yes, but it is impractical if you ever use the rear seat area for people.

Does anyone make a seat with a full harness that is attached to the seat like a jet fighter ejector seat and not on body/roll cage structure?

My car has short cables with the latch part of the buckle attached to the moving seat frame so I can't see any reason why the rest of a 4 or

5 point belt can't be hung off the seat too.

I can, the stresses imposed onthe weedy little seat runners fitted to cars that have 3 point belts mounted to the floor, you've seen the ads where an unseatbelted kid in the back has the force of an elephant, look at the seat runners and see if thay can take the force of

3 or 4 elephants if the unthinkable happens one day, and your entire restraint system relies on them,

Cars that have seatbelt stalks mounted on the seats have much stronger runners, but even so most still have the reel and upper mounting on the B pillar,

the bucket seats that did have the harnesses mounted to the seats were prolly sold on the provisio that they were bolted rigidly to the floor.. like most race cars, and not on a runner system,

even with the stock seatbelts in place, bolted to the floor and B pillar of the car as the maker intended, i've seen seats that have burst off the runners after an RTA, so i would never mount anything else to those runners than absolutely needed. (if your wondering, i used to work for a recovery firm, 1/2 of my work was scraping hte remains of cars and their owners off the A1, so i have seen that the seats coming off the runnes in the RTA happened in the RTA, and not because of the firemen doing it to get the seat and occupant out)
