Anyone know how to install 6pt harness?

I got a pair of rottec replica gt3 seats and a 6-point gt3 schroth harness. The harness has no hardware and I am not sure how to install.

I have not installed the seats yet, but I am going to soon. My seats do have a sub mount bar and I have an agency roll cage.

I thought the top two straps would go over the roll cage...should i connect the middle two and the two lower to the sub mount bar?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

With euro gt3 seats the hardware for the belts come with them...the lap belts attach to the seat, the sub belts attach to the sub bar (they should have a loop for this)...the shoulder belts wrap around the roll bar and the straps should have the locking plates on them

Plus 1. The lower two webs go though the seat to the sub bar.

I have the same setup and the lap belt mount points I put on the sides of the seat brackets. I was able to find a spacer and some washers to make the GT3 harness end fitting hole fit on a bolt and rotate just like the GT3 seats come with. I had to straighten out the bend in that same harness mount end fitting.

So basically I used a bolt with large fender washer on the outside, spacer and harness mount and then a regular washer, split lock washer, and nylon lock nut on the inside of the seat bracket to bolt it down. This allows the harness mount to rotate on the bolt just like the GT3 seat OEM mount block.

I'll snap a pic in a sec and post. I think I spent about as much time in a hardware store as I did putting it all together!

Here is a crummy pic. This is the outside, if you plan on putting the OEM seatbelt receiver back on along with the harness on the inside, you will need a longer bolt and two spacers to get both to fit on and rotate, etc. You can see I removed the bend in the harness end fitting as well - put in a vise and clamped down to straighten.
