Here's a few pics of the 3 point harnesses in the white Camaro. This is what I meant by using eyelet bolts for the lap belts. After drilling hole you could tack weld washer under carpet, install padding and carpet and then run eyelet bolt and a clasp set up.

i plan on the schroth 4 pts. not the best option, but the anti sub feature is nice. i dont plan on using them unless im at the track. i ran simpsons for a few years and never wore the top straps on the street. pretty stupid to be running around with just a lap belt. make sure you use whatever you get, or put in 3 pts for street use.

Would really like to see the connections to the rollbar and to the floor. I look at the NHRA specs and am somewhat confused about the proper connections.

Everything seems to just miss what I am looking for. In that example the snap on hooks are being used to fasten the harness to the floor. It also shows examples of wrap around fastening such as you would do with shoulder harnesses as well as something called a roller fastener. If you look at the red fastener on the top part of the photograph, that is the floor mounting brackets I have. Should I use a snap on hook or a clevis arrangement? Anyone have a picture of an NHRA sanctioned hook up of the belt to one of those brackets.

Also, note the Rollbar has bolt holes in it. Should I bolt in an eye hook and use the snap ons there as well or is there a clevis arrangement that is more suitable. I notice that it is not recommended just to bolt the fixed end fasteners to the rollbar.

Track Junkie almost shows the shot I want to see but his to fastener image is nto very clear.
