Hi Mark,

Lap belts were an option in the rear, so i\'d imagine there should be pick up points. I\'m thinking of just using 3 point harnesses. I can\'t see the regs being a problem as long as you use BS marked belts and sensible installation, loads of race and rally cars use non standard belts without any issues.

Who are you putting in the back anyway?

i did fine a couple of points i thought i could fix to, i thought it was handy having the hole in the seat for the clip!
its for my daughter she\'s 6 she wasnt around when i had my first rex so it wasnt a problem but the girlfriend has said theres no way she is sitting in the back so she can sit in the front!
safty first eh
i have a clip so i will grab a lap belt from the scrapys
thanks for the info
Mark
