Default harness upper mounting points??

Hello, ive been working out what do with the upper harness mounting points. I'm unsure where to get them mounted? Either on a harness bar on the cage or on sb2??

Could i ask what you guys have done?

Many thanks, stuart.

most like i have mounted to the roll over bar cross brace but if you can get them on the seat back it easyer in the iva aspect if you can get the correct hight from your seat bum area (iva spec) and will be diffrent on every car you would want to reinforce the seatback top tube wit an extra bit of box like some other locost based chassis

Just about to do mine I'm mounting them on the cross brace of my rollbar

Make sure yours seats are fitted first so you can mount them in the right location

Are you going to have a diagonal bar also?? I was wondering if it would be a bit close on the harness bar where all 3 meet. also im using seat pads fixed to the rear bulkhead and a loose one on the floor.

When i spoke to phil (talon) he said if the harness go around the seat and not through it, it makes the iva easier.

The harness holes in my seats were quite low once they were mounted so have put the brackets in the upper seatback rail

Will this be OK for IVA though? I seem to remember that the upper harness mount points must not be lower than the driver's shoulders.

Rubbish, i'll phone phil in the morning (as he is making it as a part of my package from him) if they have to be below shoulder thats going to be a problem... as my seat pad on the flor is only 3" thick so i'm sitting in the car instead of on it if you see what i mean?!?

Edit...

I must read replys better..... if they have to higher thats fine then.
