mounting 4 point belts

[bozothenutter]

Hi just got myself some Schroth 4 point belts (expandable to 6 point) because I like their ASM principle and was wondering about mounting them...

Can the rear ceiling mount point on a 182 be used for the shoulder ones?
I know most mount them to the c pillar mount, but that seems offset, while the ceiling belt seems almost right behind the drivers seat (lhd).

this is on a full interior car, the shoulder belts will be hooked for easy removal.

Schroth instructions say that the rear bench seatbelt points should be used. Motorsport gurus or whatever they call themselves will come along and say that it's going to compress your spine etc. But the Schroth harnesses are tested (by the TÜV) for every specific vehicle stated in the certificate. So it will be fine. Are you using the standard front seats?

thanks, I have looked in the certificate, and there is only the Clio I mentioned in there.(have already mailed Schroth with the same question)
Schroth also seem to be contradicting themselves in that they state an angle of 20degrees from the horizontal max is allowed.
This would make the center belt mount a better proposition than the lower rear belt mounts (45deg?)

I'll be using the standard seat for now, until I run into a good raceseat.

Just noticed the inside mount is on the seat....
where do people mount the inside lap belt on a 4 point without drilling.
will drill if neccesary.

Mount it to the standard point on the seat or drill a hole in the floor and use a spreading plate.

think i will drill...I see a bucketseat in my future.....
will it be possible to retail the original belts with a bucket?

With Recaro Pole Positions on Recaro subframes it is possible.
