It was inspected by a mate of mine who used to be a scruitineer and the angle was something like 10 degrees off of the limit of dangerous angle so just about safe. Main reason I think is cos I'm short I sit forwards which of course reduces the angle of the rear straps. My friend (6'4) did say if he was driving it the angle would have been dangerous. Some advantages of being short! Lol

I was going to use the rear seatbelt points like crazy said. (this is what I did with my old lude)
but I was struggling to find a fixing point for the sides (I can't remember where they were fitted in my old lude)

I have a tramroadmotors brace in the back of my 4ws 4g if you wanted to take a look at what's involved? All it means is unbolting the oem bracing and mounting the 4ws on the boot floor. You also need to cut a small section away on either side of the car but only very small sections to get the clearance.

I'm going to have to think and make decisions on what route I'm going to take the car... I want the best of both worlds but I dont think it's going to happen.

I wanted to fit the bucket seat and strip the interior for trackdays etc. then put it back to standard again afterwards

Mart, you want the Harness bar? There is this guy selling on ACcrodr for £70.? Let me know and I will buy it for you and have him sent to you and you can pay me. I would have bought it but need the money for something special..

Mate do what iv done.. strip it but leave some plastics in.. I could but my rear seats and belts back in in a hour or two.. one thing do not use any seat mounts to secure the harness.. only seat belt mounting points!!!

I beg to differ

Remember when I did this.....

Ok its hard to flip a lude except when you are in a country lane, hitting a verge?, with your girlfriend next to you.

I did have that pic going through my head when I typed that. It's hard but you managed it

Country lane, yes, on a nice sunny afternoon in June. Weird cambered corner, Cornish hedge, inconsiderate oncoming traffic and slow reacting 4WS. Luckily I was alone in the car. Gutted though, I loved that 'Lude.

I thought your GF was with you

It must have been someone else who crashed their Lude badly with their GF beside them.
