[QUOTE="r3dn3ck, post: 1536914, member: 9214"] Nada? The pivoting action that (it looks like anyway) the brackets that go to the upper seatbelt mounting point are capable of doesn't seem like the greatest of all possible ideas but it is mounted in double shear. I guess that could be welded in place once installed so it'd have to break the bolt or the eyelets in once case, it'd have to break the bolt or tear the eyelets out and break the weld and break the bolt in the other case. The few of them that I've seen installed have a distinct/excessive down and back angle to the main hoop when installed. Looks goofy and I can't help but wonder about the compressive loads that would be applied to the struts turning into bending loads if any of the upper mounts even stretched or bent. I suppose one could easily just fab up longer strut arms but that doesn't solve the problem that it creates, the shoulder straps need to be mounted below the shoulder far enough to get the proper 10-15 degrees of down angle on the belt. Maybe just go with the Corbeau. Starting to consider that that might in fact be the best option. [/QUOTE]
