Default 5 point harness or 4 point, what's needed?

I am going to buy and install a harness on my driver's seat this week before lsfest. My local 1/8th mile track doesn't say anything to me about my stock restraints, but I have been informed BG will. SO, I need a harness.

This looks similar to the ones my local shop has in stockhttp://www.summitracing.com/parts/BOB-50502-19-23/

Now do I need a 5 point? Or 4 point will do? Main reason I ask is I don't know where that crotch strap is going to bolt to?

I know the shoulder belts will bolt to the mount behind my driver's seat on the roll bar itself, and that the lap belts anchor to the old seat belt latch mounting point, and the anchor/mounting point for the lap belt. But where does that crotch strap go?

I drilled a hole in the floor and put a 1/2 bolt there for my crotch strap. I am using the stock seat belt holes like said. That is really the only way to do that because the mounting studs for the seat were not tall enough for a bar to be mounted on them. Hope this helps man, i think you have to have the 5 point to be nhra legal but don't quote me on that.

You need a 5 point. I welded a tab to the seat brace but I would think you could drill thru it and use a long bolt like nmass399 suggested.

I bought the complete RCI set w/ cam lock, Mfr# 9210CD
Both Summit and Jegs were backordered so got it through street side auto.com

+1 on the Wolfe crotch bracket...
