Default Oh yeh!

In the words of Carroll Smith '... real racing harnesses are six point..."

Plus you don't have to cut on the seats! If you mount the fifth belt in front of the seat think of how far you have to travel before you will, ugh.... ouch!!!!!!!

No scientist here but there is some additional issues about taking up 'slack' in belts before you come to a stop. Not good stuff either.

I have Deist harnesses. Nice stuff. Excellent re-web service as well when it comes time (I have seen tested where the web has lost 80% of its breaking strength in only two years).

I have the old fashion latch type system (Deist has a variety). So my sub belts attach to the lap belts mounts on one end and slide on the latch on the other. Since I don't always want to use the anti sub belts and I don't care to sit on them, both ends are rigged through those 'quick' release type hardware that you use on the lap and shoulder harnesses as well. I could have done just one side and then tuck down over by the tunnel when I didn't want them. I hope that picture is clear. Feels fuzzy here and that is not a good sign!
