The rear I used the stock rear seatbelt mounts, which was just on the boarderline of acceptable angle (dont have this option with a ute obviously) but now have half cage with harness bar from AGI which puts it at a lot better angle for the rear strapscams info here on mountinghttp://docs.cams.com.au/Manual/GeneralRequirements/GQ10-Schedule-I-2015-1.pdf Edited 22/04/15 12:50 PM by (Locky) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't trust it that much!Just used a CG lock before this.4 point helps a great deal. These cars are too heavy to attain the corner speeds of lighter cars, so this set up is adequate.Being a daily driver I prefer having a comfortable stock seat too. Big hassle with air bags to remove completely. At the time, couldn't find a harness bar for FG.Replaced the rear seat bolts with eye bolts.Have the rear seat belt bolt replaced with eye bolts too.Run a harness through the top of the seat. Use extra padding. Set up is not ideal but big improvement from the stock seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
