However, I would not recommend this if your shoulders are above the back of the seat. If you roll in an accident with the harness set up like this, you run the risk of harming yourself even more. The lap belts can go where they are most comfy, and the middle strap is mounted under your seat (and comes up between your legs). This is how it was explained to me when I had my roll bar installed. The cross bar in the back hoop is mounted at a height specific to me and my seat.<br /> <br /> <small>[ April 25, 2003, 11:42 AM: Message edited by: Chosen1 ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Bill/APEX Motorsports</b> <br /><small>Member # 636</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,3,25,12,49,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Shoulder harnesses should be mounted no more than 45 degrees downward behind the seatback.
