5-Point Harness Install? NASA 2011

flyga3 · 01-14-2011, 10:46 AM

Anyone successfully install a 5-point harness in an E92? Solutions?

With the new NASA rules for 2011, all cars must run with OEM 3-point or full 5-point harness for HPDE! My CG-Lock ain't cutting it anymore, and that shot my install of the Rallye-4 belts down the toilet.

If you are looking to properly install it, you'll need to drill into the floor and use some eye mounts.

Just be careful with installing a 5 point harness without a roll bar. There are risks to consider, like if the roof collapses, and your body can't move because it's strapped in place. Also, the angle of the shoulder belts is very important, otherwise, spinal compression may occur.
