Now, personally, you don't have to go completely crazy making it all that strong because, if you get hit that hard, you're probably a goner anyway and those belts aren't going to save you. But they ought to be able to withstand a medium hard whack without pulling their bolts out.
I think Im going to order something like the Crow 4 point. I can get the lap part mounted right away and then see if I can make the shoulders work. I think if I mount the bezels to run the through as high as possible to a large backing plate it would be better than nothing. At least slow me down before putting the steering wheel through my chest.
