SkiprCH,

The point of my post was to illustrate that not all of us are sold on making the 3-point switch. It seems that on this board and others, folks are almost militant about convincing others to make the change-over. I was only interjecting that I was not going to make the switch based on my experience and the usage of my car.

You might want to take a step back and think about what discussion boards are for. This is a community where we all get to share our experiences and seek insight on restoring or modifying our cars. Opposing viewpoints and ideas are part of healthy discussion.

Whether or not I was asked for my interest or if I was invited into this conversation seems to be an issue with you. By the way, I didn't see paddy187 specifically ask you for information, yet you felt inclined to post.

So, what exactly was the purpose of YOUR post?

 

Paddy,
I forgot to add to my post that I am really sorry about the loss of your friend. I am also sorry what this thead turned into.

Sorry to hear that, man.

If you don't mind the look, a 4-point setup with wide belts would give much better protection in our solidly built (no crumple zones) cars. They'll spread the force over a larger area, reducing the probability of cracked ribs. They also don't touch your neck.
