Hi,

I'm figuring out the top mounts for the shoulder straps for six point harnesses. I've looked at a thread in the GTD section of the forum and the mounts described there look to be higher than horizontal which would allow vertical body movement.

European industry and FIA recommend that the shoulder straps must be between 0deg (horizontal) and 45deg (down) (see securon.co.uk). Looking at racing/rally seats they all have cut outs to accommodate these horizontal or lower strap mounts. Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm building an RCR with a full rollcage.

regards

Roger Allen
