Fellas, I am looking for some pics on how you attach your 5 point harness to the rollbar behind the seat. tech approved methods of course.

I have heard some say to weld a bracket and some say just wrap the belt over the bar and back thru the clip.

Sorry no photos, I would check your local sanctioning body NHRA, IHRA, AHRA, NDRA, NCTA, NMCA whomever, for a rule book on your class/ET's/mph's requirements... Seen it done both ways, but the wrap only on 11.50 ET & slower cars, it seems if the belts are long enough, that wouldn't be able to get cut as easy, as the bracket types, the mounting area need to be lower than your shoulders so it pulls you down & back into the seat....
 
This is on my old car but it passed tech in 4 different states at 7 different tracks.

it is like budnicks said,check the rule book.it is normally very specific about placement and style depending on your class.wrap around works great for the street.
 
Just wrapping around the bar with no way to keep it from sliding from side to side is not the way you want to do it. Been awhile since I've checked a rule but but iirc, you have some leeway on position in relation to the shoulders. Too high and it lets you come up and too low will compress your spine....I think 1" below your shoulders is optimum....
 
thanks, it that just wrapped aournd the bar? no brackets or anything?

That's it. Wrapped and secured with the slip connector. Never had a problem. It ran at many NHRA points meets as well.
 
thanks for the help guys, the local strip sells the books for 10 bucks so i will pick one up.
