That is exactly why I put 3 points in the car originally. I'm definitely leaning towards bolting in the shoulder belts(For quick removal between events) and using the same anchor points for the lap belts and just laying them in the rear floor board. I would like to see a picture of your set up. Thanks Matt..
Oh, and it's just my personal preference, but I would run a 3pt belt on the street. I always end up driving with only the lap belts for the 4pts connected because you can't move around if enough if you're just out cruising.

yep very true... i had a harness bar in my 4th gen for a year and a half and the majority of the time i would just wear the lap belt...(not to safe) you gotta strain your self just to reach the radio controls lol.
yeah todd I've always planed to do just that (run 3 points on a regular basis and just leave the laps on the ground when not in use) if i ever get the camaro running again! you better measure that right!!! haha
I'm with Matt. I hate harnesses on the street. Having an inertia reel three-point shoulder belt is a lot more practical.
I leave the floor-pan bolted harnesses in the car when it's not on the track. The side belts tuck in well between the seat and the side of the floorpan, and the sub goes under the seat.
my plan is to run a removable harness bar without a cage for a set of the schroth harnesses and run 3 points off the harness bar attachment points when the bar isnt there. i really dont like how the bolt in 3 points hang so much "stuff" from the roof that just dangles there so i want them much lower and a little more hidden.
read over schroths site and check out the crash test videos. there is a lot of info on 2" vs 3", belt angles, anchor loads and requirements etc.......
here is a site that has given me a couple ideas for the 3 pts. some of their installs seem to put the shoulder straps a little low, but mock up on my chevelle shows i will be right at the 20*.
I've already got 3 points. I decided to go the route I did originally due to the fact I didn't like the belts hanging from the ceiling as well. I'm going to order a set of simpson belts and call it a day.
schroth profi series. its the best. not cheap, but no harness's are. do at least a 5 point. might as well keep the 3 pt if you are not going to do a 5 or 6 with the sub belt.

Except the Sparco seats cant be adapted to fit the 5th or 6th ball hugger belt/s?
This ain't no track car, it's an occassional track car that's driven at less than 100%. Big difference IMO. I'd love to have RACE CAR but I can't fathom another penny in cars at this point.
I raced it with 3 points so I'm not overly concerned with my well being I guess. My main focus was to keep from moving around so much. I'll see if I can make a 5 point work.
