mcc1979ian Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 hi was just wondering if anyone has fitted 4 point harnesses in there truck cab and if so where did you fit the upper mounts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris113 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Do you have any kind of roll cage behind the truck cab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcc1979ian Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 no its just a standard truck cab or will be, i thought about strengthing the bulkhead and mounting it to the top but wasnt sure if it would be strong enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danebrewer Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I'd suggest that if you need a 4 point harness then the driving would require a roll cage for safety, especially considering that the defender cab is made from not much more than lolipop sticks, drinking straws and papier-mache.....

LandyManLuke Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 If you fit 4 point harnesses 'for show' incorrectly, they could well end up killing you. Granted, the standard seatbelt installation isn't the greatest, but poorly fitted 4 point harnesses will be worse. Sorry to be boring, but it's a truth worth taking on board. Harness shoulder straps need a fixing or bar at shoulder height, no lower, else they can put your back in compression. You also need the shoulder straps to be as secure as the waist straps, if the top straps fail you can end up folded in half by the waist belt in an accident.
