This is all you need. Click for a bigger pic. 3 of the 4 mount points go to the factory seatbolt holes. The 4th point needs a hole drilled in the parcel shelf and some 5mm thick plate that acts as a washer to reinforce the shelf and keep you safe.

I've still got my seat belts and harness's in the car at the same time.

What times do you guys have to do to need a harness? Im in the mid 11's and just use the seatbelt, I thought that you need it when you do a ten but then it attaches to the rollcage?

Anything quicker than 11.99 needs a 3 point harness but what they don't tell you is a seat belt is a 3 point harness ;)

I got the 4 points as the aim is to go a little quicker yet

You will run 11's easy in that wont you?

What kind of harness did you get? What was it worth?

qwikcorty if you don't run an 11 your doing something wrong. I ran up 279rwkw and went 11.9 in the XB. In your car your 250rwkw is mid to high 11's.
