B10.2.3 Harness Attachment Points
The shoulder belts must be looped around a horizontal tube welded within the RRH that meets the Roll Cage Secondary
Member requirements of B8.3.1. Lateral motion of the belts along their mounting tube must be restrained. The firewall
must protect the entire shoulder belt. The firewall may be pocketed to facilitate this, as long as no open gaps result.
B10.3 Lap Belts
Figure 8A
B10.3.1 The lap belt must pass around the driver’s pelvic area below the Anterior Superior Iliac Spines (the hip bones – Fig.9).
The lap belt must not be worn over the driver’s intestines or abdomen. In side view, the lap belt must be at an angle of
between 45 degrees and 65 degrees to the horizontal (Fig.9). This means that the centerline of the lap belt at the seat
bottom should be approximately 76 mm (3 in.) forward of the bottom of the seat back. The lap belt halves must run
directly from the driver’s hips to their mounting points without redirection by any part of the vehicle or its equipment
(including the seat). The lap belt halves must be mounted to frame tabs using the bracket supplied with the safety
harness (Fig.10). The lap belts must freely pivot to fit drivers of differing statures correctly. The lap belt bracket must
not be loaded in bending (Fig.10).
