how do you a 5 point harness, side straps im a little confused, i searched and read all kinds of instructions, i know the two shoulder straps mount to the cage, the crotch strap im buying the bracket for.

We have the bolt-on crotch strap brackets in stock and the best deal on them. Made of lightweight chromemoly tube and powdercoated finish. Give us a call when you're ready!
open the hole up on the tabs that come on the lap belt, so they fit on the sholder of the stock torx bolts, bolted to the stock floor holes. I have a lock washer over the threads that stops at the shoulder of the bolt, so that tightens on the floor. And the shoulder is 3/4 off the floor. SO the tab is loose to move a little on top of my speed inc carpet, around the center concel, and the door sill panel
You can get a metric bolt with the same threads and just use that to attach the belts, it helps prevent having to open the holes up much. That's how I held mine in, no problems with it @ all.
The crotch strap I had attached to the bottom of the kirkey seat, which was solid bolted right to the floor on the back studs. Not right by the standards.... but it never failed tech at 6 different tracks, fwiw.

theres only one hole from the stock seat belts, what about the side of the seat with the door.. doesnt it have to come up vertical, not lay flat against the floorboard?
There should be one hole on the side of the driveshaft tunnel, and one in the rocker panel for your lap belt attachment points...same as stock. You do not want to modify the factory belt attaching hardware at all- just use the proper hardened bolt(s) and it will work fine.
The attaching bracket should be mounted in the same direction as the pull of the belt to spread the load across the webbing as much as possible. You can put a little bent in the bracket between the slot for the webbing and the bolt hole to make this work better in some situations.
