   is it ok to use a set of 4 point harnesses on a set of standard seats? an will it pass a mot?

   dont know about mot but safety wise its a death certificate m8.. save and get some buckets... stanard seats arent designed to take the strain in a crash.. as thers no pretensioners and so on the seat breaks and al sorts.. just dont crash and will be fine lol

   to pass the mot the belts need to be E marked and be bolted to suitable points. What points have you bolted the harnesses to??

   yea if u do it 2 rear points should be ok for mot.. but i wouldnt because of the safety issue llol.. plus surely the shoulder straps would just fall off ur shoulders? unles u put them under the headrest.. then its even more unsafe lol...

   if its the original points you'll be fine then because they're obvioulsy already suitable for belts. i've got a 3 point harness with normal seats and i've passed my mot twice. but they HAVE to be E marked.

    Most are yes but you can get cheap ones off ebay that aren't and i dont think 5 and 6 point harnesses are E marked even if they're official names. Mine are Sparco.

    i just had a look at securon and they look descent. i'm not a prick so wouldn't steal u money for the sake of it lol so if ur happy wit ur belts then stick wit em. i paid £120 for mine partly for the name and partly cause i got sparco buckets. if u just want harnesses and names dont matter then keep wot you got mate
