Default Where the Heck is the fifth belt supposed to go?!?

I just got a Corbeau racing seat with four slots. I thought there would be an obvious place to put the fifth belt, like a slot or a brace hole or something. Nope! What am I missing here? Is anyone using Corbeau racing seats and a five point harness? Please educate me.

Are you talking about the crotch strap? That needs to be bolted to the floor and it comes up between your legs.

It is the strap with the release gear on it.

Yep, the drag racer's jock strap.

Is there no other option than bolting to the floor? Does no one make a cross brace or something that can be bolted down with the seat via the front two mounting holes?

Wolfe RaceCraft makes a crotch strap bar that uses your exsisting seat mounts. I think its only $35, and you can get them from Thunder Racing. I bought one last month, but haven't mounted it yet.

There was some question on the legality of the mount. Might want to check into it...

Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep my ears open. For now, it's the best alternative I have.

I have heard that tech "may" bounce you for using the Wolfe crotch bar. But until somebody sights an actual track, with a date and the circumstances of why they got bounced by tech, I will run the crotch bar.

Seems that alot of tracks are pretty inconsistant with inspection. You should see some of the wrecks they let run down that track in Scribner, Nebraska. Freaking pickup trucks with mud still on thier tires, cars with rust holes in the floor boards, and of course The Cooter's Garage special running 10's with no rollbar, and the front seat is held down by one rusted bolt.
