So I have been putting off shoulder belts for years but my kids have grown up enough that I have them cruise around town with me in the passenger seat. It is high time I up the safety factor from the 1976 lap belts. I am leaning towards adding the "Humvee" surplus belts commonly found on the interweb. I have also considered a 4 point harness but for daily driving duty it seems like a little overkill and a bit of a hassle.
I picked up a roll bar clamp from a late model 40 with the welded captive nut for the upper bolt. I imagine the other two points should be to the tub not the seat itself?
I searched and didn't see much in the way of a "how to" add them... did I miss a thread?
Any lessons learned from other 'mudders before diving in? This isn't something I want to screw up. Is there a better option than the Humvee option? Do I want front or rear seat belts? I imagine I want plenty of length.
I will be adding a full cage in the next year or two and may consider a roll bar mount then, but I would like to get them installed asap into a mostly stock 40.
Looking at this kit...
