I can't imagine a bench seat being legal for 5 point harnesses. You are just securing the seat, not yourself.
I go through this when building 5-point restraints for customers...I walk through a check list with each set to better match the application (seat type, mounting configuration, etc.). For the people with stock style seats, I usually end up doing extended webbing on the anti sub and lap belts due to the added height of the seat (if they want to go in front of the seat cushion for the anti sub belt) compared to racing seats. Let me know if I can help, I do a lot of driver restraint webbing adjustments for custom mounts/applications.In my 71 nova I currently have a bench seat with 5 points. How are you guys mounting the submarine belt as it is suppose to be placed back under the seat per NHRA rules. My belt is barely long enough for one and it pushes on the very front of the seat hard. If you guys can post pics of your 5 points with bench seats that would be awesome! thanks
So you can call and order belts with longer straps? I've never tried that but may need to with the stock bench seat Nova project car I'm building.I go through this when building 5-point restraints for customers...I walk through a check list with each set to better match the application (seat type, mounting configuration, etc.).

As a rep for Deist long ago, and now for DJ Safety, the restraints I do are made to order, so they are built to my specs. I'm not sure of other manufacturers, but I've had custom items made by Dennis Taylor (Taylor Motorsports) and Fred Crow (Crow Enterprises) in the past...the common denominator is that all of these companies do their manufacturing onsite (not overseas).
That's good to know, ThanksYes, all of the driver restraints I do for customers are custom made.
I bought my belts through Vin and must say his customer service is top notch!!! I have the extended crotch belt and he even extended the lap belts since I am not a little guy. DJ safety makes some nice products and I highly recommend you use Vin for any of your future needs!!!:yes:Yes, all of the driver restraints I do for customers are custom made.
