Harnesses & Rollbars

[rob_alarcon@xxxxxxx]

So I'm a few days behind on the topic but , I just recently installed 4 point
harnesses in my E30 325is and egads, I don't have a roll bar.  The harnesses are
made by Sroth.  They are designed specifically for use with BMW's and even come
as an option with new Bimmers in Europe.  

According to Sroth no roll bar is required (make sure you read that sentence
again before sending ME any flames - according to SROTH).   

The inside shoulder straps, right for driver and left for passenger, have a
design feature which lengthens the strap under a certain force.  That in turn
enables a "tuck before your head gets squashed like a bug" maneuver.

How much force is required ?  I don't know.  How does it work ? I don't know. 
Will I get a roll bar ?  Yes someday, but for now I'm going sans-bar.
