4 Point Harness Help
I got a 1990 Pathy and was wondering how to put a 4 point harness in it with out taking the back seat out ( 4 year Old Girl Car seat) I did notice 4 (2 on each side ) connecters or something on the front of both seats near the floor can i use these for the rear contections?![Image]()
Hmmm, I was sure I'd replied to this one.
Mate, take it to a mechanic who's licenced/registered for fitting things like that, you need to be 100% certain that you've got RATED bolts to hold in a harness, otherwise it runs the risk of failing when you need it most.
And the cost, even if it's a couple of hundred bucks, if it saves your life only ONCE is definitely worth it!
I wouldn't fit it to any other mount points in the vehicle as each part is rated only for certain things.. Worse case scenario with using mount bolts that say a seat is mounted to is that your harness rips the bolts out of the floor and while you are going through the windscreen you are being hit by bits of floor, bolts, seat, etc and what's left of your harness.
It'd deffo be worth seeing a professional on that one. Safety is number 1 priority here, not cost.
