clark17357 Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 I am contemplating putting 5-point seat belts in my car. Has anyone done this yet? If so, what did you decide to go with and why? Thanks. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69dejavue Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 I am contemplating putting 5-point seat belts in my car. Has anyone done this yet? If so, what did you decide to go with and why? Thanks. Jim Jim, I think a pair of Simpson's would look great and be very functional. However, would there be an issue re warranty and safety in the event of an accident. I could see Ford claiming that they would not be responsible for injury because the original safety equipment was not used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clark17357 Posted March 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Don't install the nutcracker strap! I knew that strap had to have another name. Now that I think about it, one would probably not need the anti-submarine link given that the air bag would keep you in your seat. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a Simpson set up (four point) in my 1967 Porsche 912 (with Scheel racing bucket seats) and it was a pretty sweet set up. Of course, back in 1967, seat belts had just become mandatory in the US (1964 or 5 has I recall). Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
