5pt harness install location?
What are you guys using to mount the lab belts and the sub belts for your harnesses? Also where are you mounting them to? Pics would be nice. Thanks!

Bought both a lap belt and sub belt mount from Dan at Vetteworks - fits perfect and great quality. Downside is they are not inexpensive, and you need to plan on a lead time of 3 to 4 weeks from order. He will also need to know what shoulder belt mount bar you will be using, as there are some subtle differences between the Brey-Krause bar and others.
While waiting for a sub belt mount (had assumed a 2 point sub could attach to the lap belt mount, but most straps are way too short, and with electric seats it's a no-go anyway), I got impatient and made my own from 0.125" x 1.25" mild steel strip. Simple fabrication but bending it up was a serious PITA.
Oh yeah, easy install - they use the existing seat track studs/nuts, you install the mounts over the existing seat tracks. Seats don't even need to come out, unless you are installing a harness bar at the same time (MUCH easier that way).
