5 point harness
Before I try to do the install. Is there any likely problems I am going to run into, tools or parts I am going to need, to install the lap belts in a 1990 C4? I have a R&D Racing sub belt / fire bottle mount, and an R&D harness bar. It's the lap belt is my concern.
Thanks

Easy Job. If you are going to drive it on the street you need to keep the stock seatbelts as the harness is not considered a seatbelt and if your state laws require seat belts you'll get a ticket.

Plan to street drive the car 99% of the time, just putting in the 5 point for Solo2, time trials, and some non-competitive track events.
Thanks

Definately don't wrap the sub belts over the front of the seat cushion. You need to bring them straight up through your legs, prefereably from behind your crotch area. The mounting bracket does that, right?

No it's designed to bring it over the front. I have to ask if the 2 inch difference is significant. I am 6'3" with helmet I am taller so I am sitting near the edge of the seat anyway.

I definately recommend routing the crotch belts across the front of the stock seat. Cut a little slit in there so it comes up between your legs. A new seat cusion is cheap if you ever need to see the car...
