[Roadsters] 5-point harness laws

[Eric Gillis]

Lee and others-

I used Wesco performance, price is right, and the quality is very nice.  Much
nicer than the old stockers and bright black webbing as well.  Good
instructions, tips on installation.  I got the tip from Jeff Torres.

Remember for 4 pts and more,  if you dont have a good roll bar, the second
object in the way of a rollover after the top/frame is your head.

Enjoy the ride,
