5-point harness on gen MS3

[nicho1987]

I just bought a pair of racing seats and still need to get a harness. I want to go for the 5-point but I still have my interior.

Is anyone doing this and if so how did you mount the harnesses OR is there something on the market I missed that works with this?

Thanks for the input felllas

There is a harness that mounts to your factory seat belt location. It was used in the MS3 that represented us at forum wars.

I don't recall the name. Try sending a PM to a guy on here named FORZDA1.

He was our driver for forum wars. He can give you more info on the harness he used.

That was only a 4 point harness I understand it. I would really like to have a 5-point for Track days and time trials.

Do you have a cage or harness bar? Any particular reason you want a 5 points instead of a 4pt? The debate over what's safe in road racing is never ending but I use stock seat belt on track days since I only have a harness bar and a simpson 4pt for autox.

AFAIK, the schrothe 4 pt harness is approved w/o a cage/harness bar.

First, check with your local racing org to check the rules on harnesses. Many don't allow 4 points anymore.

Second, you need a 5 point harness capable seat (meaning there's a slot/hole in the seat already). Lastly, you will need to properly mount the crotch belt, meaning drilling a hole out and welding a brace plate in the floorboard.

A 5 point harness in a car with no cage or at least a rollbar is extremely dangerous. You are basically ensuring your death or serious injury if you have a serious rollover accident since you are being held rigidly upright as your unsupported roof crushes down towards your head.
