Official Interpretation

4/30/2004 Regulation 6.5.6
Question:
In the regulation it state that the harness must be attached with bolts and nuts. In the past we have used a harness made to wrap around tubes of the chassis. Will this be allowed?
Official Response:
Regulation 6.5.6 states "Only commercially manufactured safety belt systems are allowed, and any modifications must be approved by the manufacturer." Wrapping the tube is acceptable, but must be a manufacturer approved method of installation. The structural member to which the seat belt is fastened will also be an issue at scrutineering.
