Defintely the way to go.  I have a 6 point belt set in my 69 Sprite  road car 
that are FIA and SFi certified.
 
If any publication says don't fit a 4 point belt set in a road car ask why  
they say that?  if fitted correctly there is no good reason I can think of  
(except not having a roll bar) for not fitting them.

I am  currently installing a new six point harness system in my ' 67  Midget
vintage racer. We have to do this because the belts expire after a  certain
period of time whether they are protected from the elements in a  garage or
trailer or are kept outside in the weather where they would be  exposed to
the sun and rain. I'd guess no race car is stored outside where  it and the
belts would be exposed to the weather and deteriorate over  time.

I had planned to install the out of date five point set in my '  72 street
car because I too, like the security of a dual shoulder harness  and wide
lap belt and dislike the lack of security of a three point system  in a
street sports car. I figure the roll bar and harness would provide  more
effective protection in any kind of accident. However, all the  installation
instructions warn not to install a four point competition  harness in a
street car, but provide no explanation.

Anybody know  why?
