 Tony,Gretchen's Mini for 20 years has always had two crotch straps run thr=
u the one seat hole, both secured to one central eyebolt in the floor. No o=
ne's ever questioned it (altho I'll grant you an MC tech is not the most pe=
rsnickety I've ever seen.)
I notice MC, SCCA, VSCDA, VARA, VRG, RMVR rules all specify 5 or 6-point ha=
rnesses. SCCA only includes 7-point. Most recommend above 5 points but none=
 require it.=20

Interestingly, I find no reference in any of the above rules to 6-point har=
nesses requiring two individual anti-sub attachment points. SCCA specifical=
ly allows attaching anti-sub straps to the same two attachment points as th=
e lap belts but does not require it. Only lap and shoulder belts require in=
dividual attachment points. (12-2020 GCR p. 76) You might verify with any o=
ther organizations you run with.


Cheers,Gary Schneider

How are folks doing the revised crotch strap situation?
