I dunno, but you wouldn't want to. Racing harnesses hold you straight up, and unless you have a rollcage, you don't want that.

If you get in an accident, possibly a rollover, and you don't have a rollcage, you would *probably* get leaned over to the side in the accident, and your head wouldn't get squished when the roof hit the ground or other miscellaneous object.. but if you have a rollcage, then the roof shouldn't collapse and you should be ok..

So basically here: If you are going to have racing harnesses, then you should definitely have a rollcage. If you are going to have a rollcage, you should have a helmet, or you should definitely get some SERIOUS padding on the bars that are even remotely close to your head.. otherwise you're worse off than if you didn't have the cage (heads don't like banging into solid metal)

not very easy to do so since the seats require a "pass through" to work properly.

No, and they don't attach to the seat of the FD, either. Racing harnesses attach to the vehicle, not to the seat.

Ya i know they dont attach to the seat but the FD seat is pretty much a racing seat and the harness fits perfectly around the seat
