1) W/out getting a rollcage, will I have proper mounting locations for a harness? I've seen some people bolting the harness to the seat - which doesn't help in an accident. When just swaping in a bucket from the stock drivers seat, what else needs to be done to safely have a harness?
I also see them looping through the rear brace. Is the loop safe or do you have to get something like the amuse rear bar w/the mounting points?
2) When getting into track racing, can someone summarize the rules for aftermarket seats/restraints?
3) Is it legal to do these swaps if the car will still remain on the street - aka is not a dedicated track car?
I'm aware of the airbag fixes if I decide to get a passenger side bucket as well - .
Thanks in advance!

1. No, but there are a couple companies that made a harness bar.
2. Most tracks require 5 points over 4 points and if you get an aluminum seat some tracks might require a back brace.
3. You can always leave the OEM belts in and use them on the street.
