Whats the 5 point harness needed for?

You need a roll bar or some type of stable bar to mount the shoulder harnesse up higher raither that down low on the floor. If you was to roll it the way there mounted it'll put more down ward pressure on your body and can compress your vertibras/spine.

Hey Freak, nile interior shot with the harnesses!!!

I agree with TXQH, though, about mounting the shoulder belts high. If you have seen the T.V. show Trucks! lately, Stacy was just talking about that very topic. As your body tries to move forward, the floor-mounted belts will pull downward on your spine (vertebrae) and can compress it , maybe even hurt your back. The best mounting point is behind and above you on a roll bar mount, so the belts just hold your body back to the seat. That's also how I plan to mount mine when I get the cage kit put in next month. My $0.02!!!

I already rolled my old Bronco with this setup and was ok.



But you guys are both right,I will be getting a 10 point cage in this one shortly and I'm going to have a bar installed behind the seats at the proper height for the shoulder straps to mount.

I am new to Bronco Zone and was looking through old posts for information when I saw the above post from you. Can you tell me what a 10 point cage is?

 

[freak]

A cage is a system of steel tube's that goes around the drivere's compartment in a vehicle to protect the driver.A 10 point cage is how many attaching point's it will have.The more point's of attachment the stronger the cage and the better you arte protected.

Hunter, I am installing a 10-point rollcage kit in my 84 Bronco, just look for my thread on "S&W Racecars 10-point cage kit".

Freak, I just had a question for you on the type of 5-pt harnesses you have in that pic. Can you give some more specific info on those, like price and safety rating?

 

[freak]

They are the G force Y type.I paid 70 a piece for them.They are going to not allow the Y type's anymore in drag racing.I guess they say therer nit as strong as the 2 strap's.
