Soaring

I have seen some incredible points to hook up the third point on a 3 point seat belt, and have heard testimony that the third point should be hooked up to the roof of our classic Mustangs.If you look at pictures of guys who have that third point hooked up to the roof, you quickly realize that if in a very damaging wreck, and especially a front end collisionn, the passenger and driver would be decapitated by the belt. Ford Mustangs have realized this disparity for several years now, so with their newer cars, they take the seat belt back down to the shoulder area. Look at my 03 Mach1 belts and see how the industry has solved this problem with the thing on the corner of the seat back that takes the belt down to the shoulders of the passenger and driver. That back compression in case of a wreck when you have the third point at the A frame as in the convertible 3 point system is crap. There is no scientific or researched proof to prove that.

oh wow i always thought that was to make it easier to reach it . So Soaring your incident caused by some idiot couple of months has led you to safety although it includes modding.!? lol good luck with that we don't want you or anyone on this forum losing their head.!!!!!![&:]

Soaring

It not only makes it easier to reach it, it puts it at the exact point where it needs to be to make your left shouler stick to the back of the seat and not your nose mating with the horn button.

On my sister's '65 coupe she had it mounted like this picture shows. She ended up T-boning an SUV at about 35mph and she didn't get hurt.

I don't consider this a decapitating configuration. It is mounted to the roof. This is 1000x better than the OEM belt that puts the steering wheel in your face or spears your chest.

Well nothing beats a 5 point attached to the cage... you are goin nowhere... where you goin?



nowhere...

just add a cage 10pt is nice but a pain to crawl over at times..

im going to have to agree with jamesw on this one...i just put mine in. i mounetd them on the roof and they sit perfectly on me but it might me different for people of different sizes. im 6'2" so im not sure what it would be for someone who is "verticaly challenged"

I mounted mine on the roof. im 5'10" and that damn seatbelt hurts the hell out of my neck and most of my passengers!! I think i need to get a shoulder pads for the belts

Which kit did you guys go with? I've been thinking of the one from Mustang's plus with the chrome buckle, now on sale for $219, down from $259. If it matter, I have a '65 fastback.

mine came with the car when i bought it!!
