Mike, I use the wrap around style so the shoulder belts wrap around the cross bar and I used the factory seat belt bolts for the waist belt. I made a bar that bolts on to the front factory seat bolts that the crotch belt wraps around. Actually taking mine out tomorrow to send it to RCI to get it re-certified for the shootout.
Just make sure you get the correct style for your mounting setup. If you have any questions, PM me and I can help get you the correct one and maybe save you some money.

easy way to do your crotch strap is go to lowes or home depot..buy a piece of 90 angle iron..not thin **** either..then trim it to where it fits right in the inside of your front seat..(just like the wolfes or burkharts) then mark your holes and drill them out an bolt it down with your front seat.
then mark where you want your crotch strap to be on the other side of the 90..the side sticking straight up..then drill that out..you can trim some of the extra metal off the side thats sticking straight up also if you want to cut down on weight..remember to use grade 8 hardware also.

Ok so I def need a crotch mounting point, can use the factory holes for the side belts(although might not pass a picky tech). Im not seeing this wrap around style belt unless your talking dragster style?? Whats better pull down/ pull up?? Im guessing pull down is what I want?

I installed mine a few months ago with Kirkey seats. I don't have any pic's bcz I'm in Germany for work at the moment. I bought a Wolfe Racecraft crotch bracket (there all the same). As for the belts I bought simpson 55" IIRC wrap around. For the lap belts I used RCI mounts they bolt to the stock location. I'll get the links of summit and post them in here.
Here's the links to what I used. Worked good and looks awesome. Oh and the pull down it what you want.

You can use the factory mount points for the lap belts, most tracks wont say anything, hell route 66 didnt and that is the worst tech I have ever been through. I drilled my lap belt ends out so the factory bolt would fit up to the shoulder. Had to use a serious bit as the metal was too much for even my carbide bits.

So looks like the wrap around I need 2 buy mounts then just go to the factory holes and wrap around the roll bar for the back, and If I get a bolt in it has the mounts for the sides but I need to drill into the roll bar.
And the crotch strap needs something either way.
I have a Wolfe 6 pt that has a bracket on the back of the cross bar, can I use this to drill in and mount the bolts or does it have to be in the bar itself??

there adjustable so your good there, the 55" will work good for you I'm 6" and there the prefect size. Also I wouldn't drill into the bar to mount them if you buy bolt ins it will be best to have tabs welded on to your bar. But the wrap around with those mounting pieces I posted the link to worked great and it looks awesome. You do have to open up the holes very slightly for the stock belt bolts to fit through. The Simpsons are expensive but They are very nice I was impressed when they showed up.

There is already a bracket welded on the back of the crossbar i would drill into. Just didnt know if people did that.
The belt you posted is ****, just didnt really want to spend 250 for a belt that lasts a couple yrs.

The bracket on the back of the crossbar is to keep the wrap around harnesses in place and not slide apart on the bar.

Could you drill that or would you have to add tabs? **** this is driving me crazy. I really do want the one you linked me too but I dont drive it enough to justify the $$$ for a 2yr investment. I wish you had pics to convince me to buy it. lol.
Larry @ Speedinc has the G-force and they look good, just not sure how he attached them in back (he has the same bar)
