We
use a six point belt. Two shoulder straps. A waist belt from each
side. And two 'anti-submarine-ing' belts that come up between the
legs to keep the occupant from slipping beneath the belts in the
event of a hard frontal crash.
The
shoulder harnesses come with a custom piece that the belts snap to.
We drill a hole into the roll cage and weld these in place directly
behind the seats.
The
other straps have ends that need to be bolted. We need to make brackets
to take the bolts. We cut the brackets from 3 by 2 mild steel with
a wall thickness of .125 of an inch.
A
little work with the metal grinder gets rid of the sharp edges.
Each
waist and crotch belt can share the same bracket if the bracket is
properly located. When the correct spots are found, the brackets are
welded in place.
We
bolt on the belts and adjust them.
We
check our work using an exact model of our driver (only dirtier).
