harnesses
Im looking at harnesses for the car.
i remember someone saying on here a while ago that you really need 5/6 point harnesses in a 7 as you can easily slip under them.
im looking at some omp 4 point for about £50 each or these 6 points:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=170190395261&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=007
so three questions:
should i go 6 points over 4's
are trs a decent brand?
will turnbuckle harnesses pass sva?
if not im looking at omp 4 point turnbuckles + extra crotch straps @ about £160-180 for each.

Depends very much on the seat and you can't really tell until you have a crash whether you would not slide out. If you can fit one and be
bothered with the hassle I'd fit a 6 point one if going racing etc, I find 4 point ones more than enough bother and imagine a 6 point would be
quite uncomfortable on a long journey. Just buy a heap of Velcro and stick yourself to the seat 
I understand that only normal push button buckles are allowed for the SVA

Sent you a u2u, about a spare set of harnesses I have.
UNDERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
OVERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
HORSEPOWER is how fast you hit the wall.
TORQUE is how far you take the wall with you.

Don't think 5 or 6 point harnesses exist with E-markings, so are by default not SVA friendly.

i think the sliding under the seatbelt thing was something to do with taking a 4 year old out in the car
