Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I found it to be very useful and feel that my next question is most relevant if tacked onto this thread.

I have a FRC and some parts such as BK harness bar, Sparco Evo II with fabricated seat mounts (Thanks, RedLS1GTO) and I'm looking to do a 6-point harness and this really explains 4-points. Where could the other 2 lower belts be mounted?

This is the 5 point system for BK. The two shoulder belts mount to the bar behind the seat and the straps go through the seat gromets (C5Z06 seats do not have pass through holes, so they go around the sides, very dangerous and suck, very bad design for a factory race car GM). The other belts, sides and front belt attach to the side brackets for left and right. The middle anti-submarine belt attaches to the sides also, and it comes under your legs and attaches to the cam loc of the belt system(one belt with an adjustable attachment point in the middle.) Look at Bobs pictures #8 and final pic, it shows the side belt brackets which also have a slot for the middle sub-belt.

Thank you; I see it now! I would really like to find a way to use a 6-point but it looks like it will take some fabrication as opposed to this turn-key 5-point solution.
