Default Relocating the lap belts for 5 point harness?
With the placement of my Kirkey seat, the stock lap belt locations won't work. Does anyone have any pics on what they did to relocate their lap belt mounting points?

I used the stock location for mine , but my seat is up a ways. I belive if you went somewhere else you would have to put a backing plate behind it.

The angle of the inner buckle is laid over too far so when loaded, you would be pulling on the buckle at an angle, rather than in-line with it.

I bought some of these along with some grade 10 bolts and put them in the factory location for the lap belt.

I drilled, and bolted the provided eyebolt for my crotch strap through the strengthening rib under the seat, with thick wagon washers. And hooked it on.
