5 point lap belt install?
What have you guys been using for the lap belt install on your 5 point harnesses?
The Search most drilling out the tabs for stock hardware but has anyone gone to an eyebolt setup?
What have you seen that works best or doesn't work well at all?
Thanks,
~Jim~

yep thats how mine are right not..im not running my shoulder belts because i have no cage in the car right now so i aint figured out what to do with them yet..
my submarine belt i took a piece of angle iron and cut it to lenght i needed and then on 1 side i drilled out out so i could bolt it to my seat bolts and then drilled out the center on the part sticking straight up and mounted that belt there..its like the wolfe or burkhart tube ones just it cost me 15$ instead of 180$

jegs sells angled and 90 degree threw bolt tabs that can bolt into the floor using a backing plate and then you just bolt your belts to the 90 or 60 with grade 8 bolts..the taps you want are for the directional pull would be in a wreck..so rears you want 60s and lap an sub belts you want 90s..

From what I have read, the belts need to pull 180* straight from their mounting points. Using the stock belt holes, the belts are pulling at a 90* angle. I know most tracks overlook this but I'm just throwing it out there.
Also, It is a hell of a lot easier to change belts using a 3/8" bolt than the torx bolt of the stock belts.

yea and i would rather have the belt mounting points inline with the belts so its a straight pull even though mounting it straight to the floor is fine and nothing wrong with that i would just rather do it the way shown. -tony-

You mount at 180 degrees, no place to bend, no air gap thus you stay in the seat.
Just my $.02.

tab VS what the same amount of force would do to that threaded mount.
Either way, when I do it, the mount will be at the correct angle and welded.
I like the idea of staying secure in my seat if the roof is about to come crushing in on me.
