I am about to purchase belts for my car
Mainly road use but perhaps track days if it is quiet enough to get past the "namby pamby tree hugging do gooders"
The DAX came with fittings for a retracting lap and diagonal (normal car) front seat belt
I have had a single mounting nut welded on behind each seat for non retractable harness - expecting to use a 3 point system (One behind the neck and 2 existing brackets near the seat).
I have been looking for a suitable harness and they (the 3 point) all seem to come with a long tail (would pick up a mounting point on the rear seat of a Subaru or similar) this attaches to the 2 over shoulder bits and the rest makes sense.
But how do I get rid of all the spare belt and will there be enough space between the bulkhead and my neck for the mounting bracket and 2 shortening bits? My height puts the seat back against the bulkhead.
If this excess webbing can be taken up and these used will they rub the hell out of my neck?
Or do I get a 4 point set and attach both shoulder points to the same mounting nut? - Again has anyone done this and was there a chaffing issue?
Presumably someone has done this before and can suggest the best way forward or even suggest belt / harness suppliers that would work
thanks
