Hi,

Many thanks for those thoughts

I too have a horizontal bar in the RCR roll cage but a trial fit left the shoulder strap mount too high - I'm 5'10" and my wife is 5' 2" - the mount needs to be around 2" lower. Putting in another lower horizontal bar would push the seat back forward by around 2", not good. The current bar is positioned just above the seat back which slots in neatly below it. So I'm thinking of putting a strengthening horizontal channel section bar behind the bulkhead and screwing snap hook eyes into it using supplied anchor plates. There's just enough depth in the seat and padding to accommodate the hook and eye on the inside.

regards

Roger
