Seat Belts Install for Slow Stocker
I'm working on a slow stocker / bracket-race car & would like to use 3", 5-point type seat belts. Something better than the factory belts.
My question is where to attach the shoulder belts when the car doesn't have a roll bar & is using factory seats. Anyone have any examples of this type install? Thanks. |

Re: Seat Belts Install for Slow Stocker
We had a fabricator that bolted a bar behind the seat of his pickup where it would be on the rollbar and put the shoulder belts on it.

Re: Seat Belts Install for Slow Stocker
Can not offer any mounting suggestions but I wanted to pass along belt certification info.
You can use a 5 point out dated belt in N and slower classes. Not all Track tech inspectors are aware of this. This came directly from our NHRA Tech Director. Steve Teeter STK/SS 620 |

They make an extra long shoulder belt for floor mount behind the seat. RJS sells them.

Irrelevant anyway , unless you have a 6 pt. bar. What's the problem with stock OEM belts, anyway? This is a dime rocket, yes? If you're worried about being chased, why not put in a 6 pt. bar and racing belts..then, of course you'll need racing seats, because stock seats are not safe either. Probably ought to leave the air bags in, too. Also you'll want a big full face helmet where you can't see as much, being chased.. Go for it..all the way.. Kinda defeats the dime rocket idea though ;-)

Probably nothing wrong with OEM belts. I was just thinking someone must have installed aftermarket belts in a slow car without a roll bar & just wanted to see how they did it. This is definitly racing for cheap. I'm not looking to spend any more money than I have to. |
