May need to make some tweaks and source a longer bolt to use a sleeve to allow seat belt to rotate.

Look into the Brey-Krause replacement c6z06 mount kit , part #BRR112007 from OG racing. It has a pair of replacement bolts and has spacers so that the b-k bar mounts firmly and yet the factory belt is free to move and swivel. Not sure why it wouldn't work for the shark bar too. I have never laid eyes on a Sharkbelt and don't know exactly how it mounts, but one would think they all have to be similar in some fashion. This is assuming that you have a z. if it is a base model then the thread pitch for the bolt is different and you will need a different part number. It's like 27 bucks plus shipping. Sam Strano can also do b-k stuff now too.

OOOO perfect. I'll check it out.

Off the top of my head, a longer bolt, properly selected ID/OD spacer and drilling out factory seat belt would do the trick.

Edit: Looked on OG racing for that PN and no luck.

I just checked back and saw that you have a c5. the part number that I have you was for c6z. Not the same.

I just tried to look up that PN in general and couldn't find it regardless of C5/C6. I did find the BK install instructions. I see they use a "stepped washer".

The part number I give you isn't on the website. You have to lose your hardware and call B-K with a "I lost my hardware can I buy new hardware so I can mount by bar?" and then they give you that number.
