Default Pics/Instructions to install 5 Point harness in C4?

I am putting my G-Force 5 point harness back in the Vette, 93. It hasnt been installed ina while, and I dont have the instructions, particulary for the center/crotch strap. R-D sent me instructions, which really dont help much.
So, the R-D racing comes with a plate that goes under the front seat, for the center/crotch stap. But the strap has a triangular attachment with a hole in it for a bolt. Yet the bar doesnt.
If anyone has pics of where this strap attaches to the flat bar they provide, or pics in general, please post them.
Thanks

If the sub belt has a bolt on attachment, you should be able to take it off and put the belt around the bar instead.

Good point. Its a 3 inch wide bar, and the bolt hole apparently goes to the left or right mounting bolt on the seat, so it wouldnt be exactly striaight up to your center, but offset like 6 points where the 2 center straps mount to the seat bolts.

Whatever you do DON"T put the lower strap over the front.

You can't push a rope, so if you do it won't be doing anything.

I've got my 6pt lower belt going between the seat back and bottom, to the stock seat belt bolts.

If you mount that bar behind the seat, you should be able to do that as well.

Thanks Brian, I was alwasy wondering why it was up front like that. I will see if it will reach to the back mounting bolts, then run it under the seat cushion and to the kahuna area.
