C5 Racing 5-point Belts
Have a club member that just bought a C5 Vert and is looking for the best set up for installing 5 or 6 point racing belts for Auto-X! What is out there?
I have a brace bar on my C6 coupe, but don't know what to tell him for C5 Vert?

I would go with the Brey-Krause bar and seat belt hardware.
Get 6-point belts with clips on the lap and sub belts - that way you can clip them onto the seatbelt hardware and remove them when you don't need them. You can leave the stock seatbelts in.

For a harness system you will need a harness bar.
The should straps should be mounted about shoulder level +/- 5* of shoulder level. if the shoulder belts are mounted below this level it is possible for a spinal compression fracture to happen.
Sub belts, should come up though the seat bottom or between the seat bottom and seat back. i.e. you sit on the sub belt and it goes up into yoru crotch. That is why 2 sub belts ( from a 6 point) is a good idea.

Hey sorry I was working on my old car im trying to sell and it got dark on me really fast! I can try and get pictures tomorrow. It works great and is very sturdy in there. Took me a little bit to get the bottom bar that go under the seat rails attached, but if your friend ends up getting one I would be more than happy to walk him threw the install or answer any questions for him Oh one other thing is with this bar you still have the stock steat belts in. So you can either tuck them behind the seat and use the 5pt harness, or tuck the harness behind the seat and use the stock belt
