Hey everyone, I just started doing auto cross this year and I've started to feel like im forcing my body to stay centered in the seat, so i've been looking at different harnesses.
Originally i was looking at the quickfit from Schroth which was perfect because i use my back seats on occasion, but I have a 2018 and apparently the rear buckles are different so it wont work. So now im looking at other Schroth's and Corbeau's 3/4 point harness, but I'm not really sure where a good place to mount them is in the back. I don't want to really cut anything or weld a plate on the C pillar.
So my though is to use the child seat restraints as the mount point, there's 3 of them in the back seat one at the top and 2 in the seat at about the same level as the seat buckle. The major concern is see is that those child restraint points are probably not as strong as traditional mounting points, but couldn't I just wear the stock seat belt in addition as a backup in case the back fails?
I know this probably won't fly at a track tech inspection, but thats fine I just doing autocross right now so i'm also not worried at all about a roll over. Is there anything I'm missing here for why it wouldn't be a good idea?
