Hello,
I had a three point fitted a few weeks ago, but have "upgraded" to a four point which is much more comfortable.
Have a look at the Demon Tweeks web site for prices.
PS My four point is a Willans (or is it spelt Willians?) and is light blue with a better release mechanism.
Whether you need a 3, 4 or 6 point will depend on your budget and whether you are using the car for competition/track dat use?

Dangerous on the road if you don't have a cage as if you roll the car the four point doesn't allow you to move in the same way as a diagonal belt would, Ie if the roof comes in you can't move your head out of the way....
In addition, the mounting point for the shoulder straps is crucial as well. Unless you have fixed race seats that will not collapse, then the mounting point needs to be high up (like parcel shelf height)so that there is no downward force on the back of the seat in the vent of a crash - it can cause the seat back to fail leaving you flying around inside the car. Sorry to be a downer but best to be safe. I use ordinary diagonal belts on the road and then install a removable roll cage with harnesses attached at the correct height on track.

Fat Boy,
Thanks for the points - you are so right!
I did not give a thought to what would happen if I rolled the car with my harness on - i.e. my head would be the first and only thing preventing the roof from collapsing.
My car now has an FIA homologated caged fitted and I only use the harness for hill climbing/sprints and track days.
