Steve & others -
I just read a similar post on the GrassrootsMotorsports forum. The Schroth
seem not to be DOT approved in reality, however I have not checked this
myself. It would seem that 4,5, and 6 pt harnesses aren't going to be DOT
approved due to the inability to 'duck' with them on. Check out the thread on
grassrootsmotorsports.com
Needless to say, lets put last weeks 'elk tale' together with the 5 pt harness
question and, well, you can guess what would happen.
I found new 3 point vintage (DOT) lift latch style similar to original, bolted
in original location, with Miata seats, with just enough space to bend over
and kiss my rear goodbye during a rollover with my 'show bar' installed.

Subject: [Roadsters] 5-point harness laws
Group,
I purchased two sets of 5-point harnesses for my restoration project
car. As I was leaving the store the guy says, "you are using these on a
track car, right?". I said no, there for a street car. Turns out that
harness sets are not legal for street use in Wisconsin. I installed them
anyway thinking that it's better to be a breathing law breaker then a
dead upstanding citizen. Are harnesses legal in other states for street
use?
