Ok....a lot has been said on this topic over the past few weeks.

Some people mount their 3 or 4 point harnesses to the rear lower seatbelt mountings,

Others mount theirs on the rear upper seatbelt mountings!

Apparently both is incorrect,

Rear lower - bad angle can cause back and spine injuries

Rear upper - length too long so belt could stretch a lot

Which way are yours mounted?

:wink:

rear upper is a crumple zone too so dotn have a rear impact unless you fancy your face hitting the steering wheel or windscreen ;)

Did ahve rear lower, but didn't fancy being crippled, so went to rear upper, only way the rear upper will crumple ecessivly is if you get hit by a truck lol

Will be getting a harness bar sorted soon though

I can vouch for the fact that the rear lower mounting point hold you firm in a side on impact...ie car sideways into a lampost :lol:
