    Harness Mounting Points

    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?

    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
