4 mount points with 3 point belts
Hi,
When I purchased my Indy it came with a set of (unattached) Sabelt harnesses, which I didn't notice were 3 points. Coming to trying to attach
these, obviously noticed I'm one mount short on the belts
Just to confirm I need to purchase a 4 point harness? I can upload a picture if noone knows what I'm talking about!
Thanks all - When IndyJohn reminded me where the original seat belts were, problem solved, I already had some 4 point harnesses in the boot! I
haven't had this car long, and have forgotten so many things I've already got!

It would seem logical

damn! 
there's no way you can take one of the belts with the eyelet on the end off is there? don't expect this is possible as both belts are the
same, booooo

Did you buy the kit from MK or as a part built?

Completed build, I assumed the seat belts had been taken out, but wasn't entirely sure!
Don't suppose its especially important, I can just buy more!

Can you not contact Sabelt and see if they will sell a pair of shoulder straps on their own?? Might be worth a try talking nicely to them and telling
them your situation - contact details are here
You would only need a pair of the bolt on or clip on attachments with attached belts to use with your existing buckles so hopefully not too dear at
all.

I'm not sure, is that possible?
They look very much (exactly?) like the 3 point harnesses on this page http://www.sabelt.co.uk/harness5.php

If you look from the shoulder strap buckles down you will see the 3-point and 4-point harnesses are identical. The buckles are attached to the straps
going to the lap straps i believe from memory?? Just need the straps to feed through your current buckles along with the attachments (i editted my
above post after sending)

From what I can see the issue there would be that they're sewed into place, meaning none of the parts are replaceable. So I wouldn't be
able to use the bit off the 4 point, as if I could attach it, I'd have an extra long bit from the top of the harness to the top buckle, I think?
edit - Sorry, just worked out what I hadn't realised before, 3 point I have doesn't have the buckle up top, its sewed into place, so I
couldn't just swap them!
Anyone interested in some 3 points?

Dont you have 2 buckles on the shoulder straps then with the ability to adjust the length there?? The belt simply feeds through the buckle doesnt it
with the short length to the lap straps being stitched??

The bit fed through the belts is sewed, after sitting here looking at them intensely, they're definately 3 point harnesses, and are staying that
way!
Thanks for the help anyway, anyone want some 3 point harnesses?
