Seat belts are a tricky item. As pictured, this car passed a legitimate PA state inspection in June: [http://community.webshots.com/album/283806663TtkSXZ](http://community.webshots.com/album/283806663TtkSXZ) A harness-only will pass inspection but technically you can get a ticket if a policeman pulls you over and sees you only wearing the harness. The way around this is to have both the harness and the seat belt and use the seat belt or the seat belt and the harness for street use. I don’t bother - harness only. BTW - When I take my Firebird in for state inspection, I leave the PA State Inspection Procedures Manual in a conspicuous place in the car to remind the shop that I know the rules. It saves conversations later. ---

I have all of the inspection codes handy and tabbed in my truck. I just printed it out and binded it here at work. It looks official to an unsuspecting officer this way. It was about 450 pages front and back though… so I hope you have a beefy printer if you choose this route.

[QUOTE=Sight N Sound]no because you removed factory saftey equipment… [\QUOTE] That does not agree with my understanding of the inspection procedure nor agree with my experiences in the last three years of passing inspection with a car with only a harness. Where in the procedures is this statement made? I am not trying pick a disagreement; I am trying to make sure my understanding of the rules is accurate. ---
