    Corbeau "Harness" style Seat Belts

    I'd like to get feedback from anybody using Cobeau 3 or 4 point harnees style seat belts for a street car.  These belts bolt to the factory 2-point mounting holes.  I like the idea of extra protection over a 2-point belt, and not dealing with the hassle of modifying the interior to accommodate the typical mounting location.

    I don't have any experience from them, but do you mean that they are supposed to be attached using the factory 2 point front seat AND rear seat mounting locations like in the pic below?

    Re: Corbeau "Harness" style Seat Belts

    Interesting, I'm assumed it referred to the front belt location.  Guess I'll have to make a call.  I have an early 65 Fastback and does not have rear seat belts.  One concern I have is the angle of the belt and its ability to hold one into the seat when using the front mount locations.  I plan to upgrade modern "latching" seats.  I suspect it still be beneficial over the two-point belt, unless the crash was severe.  And lets face it, w/o all the safety features of today cars, if your in an severe crash, you're probably going to be hurting.
