Note that the angle one needs for shoulder belts with a HANS is precise. I have the driver seat set for me and adjusted the shoulder belts on the rollbar to get the right angle. A taller driver would need the seat back further, so to get the right belt angle the attachment of the shoulder belts to the rollbar would need to change. That's why I have installed belt keepers that can be moved on the rollbar. I don't make that adjustment often, but I could. For the passenger seat I have set the shoulder belts properly for the seat in the full back position so that my passenger will have the right angle on the shoulder belts. I chose the Schroth Hybrid II HANS for my belts but the non-HANS version for the passenger (which works with HANS too).
Quote: I can't see how you can create the correct angle on the 6-point setup without modifying the seat.Look for my car and observe how the B-K bar works with the seat and rollbar. It took a bit of measuring, but it works well.
