I want to be able to fit (on a temporary/easily removable basis) a four point harness belt for track days, not particularly for safety but because it is so much easier to drive well when one is fully located in the seat. I note that in the rear seats, in an ideal location, are the fittings for what I assume are the child seat. Are these stressed for adult belt attachments? are there adaptors available to allow the fitting of seat belt brackets? If not what has anyone done? I saw very recently a picture in a UK car magazine, which has an RS4 avant on long term test, where they had fitted four point harnesses. Does any one remember which magazine it was so I can contact them?

It's of course your choice but the common advice is only fit a full harness if you've got a roll cage. If you're unfortunate enough to roll it then the odds on snapping your neck as the roof collapses are a lot higher.

Have you considered the cheap and effective alternative : a CG Lock ?

In EVO april 2007 there is an advert for an harness you can fit on your seat, no need bolts at all !!! Looks really good: £90 !!

It is call: Schroth QuickFit asm, schroth.com

Thinking to buy one for myself...

Like scotty says, harnesses are not recommended unless you have a full cage as the will hold you upright in the seat and if you roll, the roof is likely to 'move'

Very good point

Thanks, good point indeed everyone. My track car has a full cage so for me this point had never arisen before.

The schroth quick fit harness is designed for use in cars without cages.

I have them in my CSL.... highly recommended.
