Has anyone installed 4-point harnesses on the 700-4 yet? Any suggestions?

Yes on my 700-2, should be the same on a 700-4. Check out my build thread I wrote all about it. Build thread is called healthy addiction

Thanks Tflynn, I'll check it out. I got "jammed up" under water when I rolled it and couldn't release the OEM belt. I swore I'd buy the harnesses then. Time has passed but with the recall, what the hell, no time like the present.
