Default Arm restraints for C5?

I posted this in the road racing section but I though I would try here too.

I need arm restraints to compete in my first SCCA time trials in a couple weeks. Anyone have recommendations for a set that work well for a stock C5 Coupe? And how did you mount it?

To the best of my knowedge, arm restraints attach to the seat belt latch. You will probably have to use ones made by the company that made your seat belt.

I guess it might be possible to modify your stock belts but they might not pass it. You're probably better off going with a harness bar and some 5-point belts. More money of course but they hold you in place much better
