Default Where/How to mount 5th harness point

How/where did you mount your 5 point harness... More specifically where did you mount the strap that does between your legs?

Thanks!

For the crotch strap, I drilled a hole in the brace that the front of the seat attaches to and mounted it there. I drilled the hole parallel with the floor of the car.

The lap belts I mounted where my stock belts go.....I bought regular bolts to mount them instead of the oem star head bolts..........A lot of people say it's not NHRA legal but mine passes tech

A few places make a sub belt braket the bolts to the stock floor studs. Bar the runs over the carpet. I got mine from Madman at a race a few years ago, but don't see it on his site. I know wolfe, and I think trz have the. Light wight 4130, easy to get the seat out and work on the car.

Vice grip or small pipe wrench. The one next to the tunnel was the bear on mine.
