You can have my stock ones and I'll take the 5 points.

If you purchase Simpson harnesses and want to retain factory seat belts you have 2 options. The mounting bracket for the lap belts (harness) will need to be slightly enlarged to fit both the stock seat belt and the 5point over the shank of the seat-belt bolt. Not sure if i'd be comfortable modifying my nice, new Simpson harness.

Or you can go the custom route, and purchase some eye-bolt mounting hardware from simpson, and drill new holes/mounting points for your 5point. If you do that, make sure you have the clip-on style lap-belts.

Where can you by 5 pts that mount to stock seats/bolt holes?

I use my 5-points for daily driving, so I don't need the stock seat belts. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" /> I don't like the way it mounts right now, though, through the stock bolts/holes. So I may try the latter in the future.

I have both. It is awesome. Use regular one all the time, and pull the 5Pt back over the headrest when I need it. It is easy to do. Sorry no pics. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Yes, that is what I am looking to do. Can you describe the "easy" method please <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
