Campy,

Again, thanks for posting the photos and sending me the link in the other thread. I want to ask you a question about your installation, and I will preface it with the hope that I don't come across as negative, as that is absolutely not my intention. If it seems like that, I apologize in advance.

From the photos it looks like a frontal impact would place a severe bending moment on the bolt in end plates that the shoulder harnesses are attached to. Would it be better to use an eye bolt through the rear firewall (and the 4x4" load plate) and a set of the 'clip in' ends that attach through the eyelet in the end of the eye bolt? I would worry about the plates bending and breaking in the event of a severe impact. What do you think? Thanks.

Mike
