Oh my.
First off, thanks for all the interest in the thread. Second, you guys are yelling past each other to some degree.
Let me re-iterate. I have a cobra with lap belts. I feel aprehensive when driving it. I feel like if I get in a 5mph fender bender, I'll end up with a big dent in my noggin from the windsheild frame, and/or a bruised sternum. I feel a 3 point system will be better than a lap belt alone, let less inconvenient than a harness. I intend to mount it in the best position possible (that's why I'm doing the research, I don't know what that is), and I intend to make sure it is mounted heavy-duty to the frame.
I realize this isn't perfect. I realize it can't compare to a full harness. If I was *really* concerned about the utmost level of safety, I wouldnt be driving a cobra at all.
Wayne, I appreciate your knowledge and insight, but again, I'm not racing the car, and am willing to assume some level of risk.
David, thanks for your insight and trying to bring peace to the thread. You are both engineer and humanitarian peacemaker :-)
Again, thanks for all the interest, but I feel this has degraded a big to a "my knowledge of safety restraint engineering is bigger than yours" discussion. Let's take it down a notch. We're all friends, right...
