[size=2]Todd,


We need the Safety team to weigh in here. However, the following is taken verbatim from our tech form. I did not add the red highlighting.
[indent]


Seat Belts / Harnesses – Factory 3 point lap/shoulder belts meet minimum requirements of Driver Education program. [/size]Equal/similar restraint and seating is required for both driver and passenger positions. All 3 point lap/shoulder belts should be checked for proper operation and excessive wear or damage. Harness latches should operate properly and adjusters must work. The factory seat belt mounting position of early 911’s and 912’s must be lowered. Four point harnesses are not allowed!
[/indent]



[size=2]I was involved in the discussion about 4 pt harnesses at the beginning of the season. This is not an easy topic to create rules for as there is sigificant varability in restraint design, data available, the validity of said data, etc.


So, please understand if the answer comes back "no" even when the BMW answer is "yes".

Fair enough. I guess the way I look at this particular harness is that it provides additional safety...beyond what is provided by a stock 3-pt belt. It is designed to be part of the vehicle's safety system in that it utilizes the pre-tensioners and anchors to factory safety belt mount points. It is certainly no trouble for me to use the harness for BMWCCA events, and use the stock 3-pt harness at PCA events. However, to me it just seems counterintuitive to not take advantage of the harness if available. Will keep my fingers crossed...
