A week or so I saw an early Mustang Convertible at a show where the owner
installed a center strap behind the low-back driver's seat. It came to a "Y"
with two shoulder harnesses. It looked like it would work well but could
easily cause spinal compression if the car was to make a sudden stop. I
didn't say anything to the owner due to his derogatory comments towards my
Corvair. He obviously knew MUCH more than I did (Yea right). 

I just thought I'd mention this.

Hey Dave - Next time you see him, check to see if he is any shorter! 
 
The Y-harnesses are not SCCA legal for road racing, but for safety it 
REALLY matters where you attach that rear strap. On a Corvair, if you attach it 
to the rear package shelf, you are likely okay.
