Default Planted seat mounts & 6pt harness question

I was looking at these mounts from planted. Where the hell does one mount the lap mounts?

Anyone have these mounts with a 6pt harness?




I noticed you can purchases this adapter but wouldn't that make for a poor angle for the lap belt mounts to have to go all the way back? Plus it looks like the belts would wrap around the seat a little.



I mean these go ALL the way back!

I did Marrad brackets and solid mounted a Sparco Evo (drivers side) and Evo 2 + (passenger side) with Schroth 6pt belts. The Marrad brackets are much more flexible when it comes to mounting locations. You may want to look into those as well.
I'll try to get pics up later if I remember...

Default Seat mounts

I have an MTI mount I modified and another fabricated seat bracket. I didn't want to compromise belt angle, but do not have factory belts installed either.

I have the Brey-Krause 6pt. Bolts to the factory lap belt mounting points no problem. It will work with or without the factory 3pt in the car.

Where did you mount your sub belts to?

I can't for the life of me understand how these are used. Any pics?

Hope you can provide pictures. I could sure benefit from what you put together. At present, I'm a bit stumped on the best way to set up my lap belts with my 6 pt Schroth and sliding Marrad.

Thanks

I could snap some pics this weekend. The instructions that were posted above have a few pics and of course instructions!

Basically they mount on the stock lap belt mounts. They have two eyes one for the lap belt and one for the sub belt.

I'm happy with them. Easy install. And they work well with the Corbeau A4s I have.

Forgive the dirty carpet.
This is the driver side solid mounted to the floor and at the correct height / angle for me. I've received displeasure from other people (instructors) who do not fit and curse me for not having sliders.
