Mounting race harness in Type44

[Dave Aukerman]

Agreed.  I removed the seat and got a longer bolt and mounted both the
harness belt and the stock reciever back in place.  Eventually the plate
will be installed, but for now the piggyback method.

I don't at all recommend this Javad.  The problem with the stock seat belt
FEMALE end, is that it can release under side loading.  The best way to
mount
the Trans side is to either a) remove the stock female end, allowing the
stock bolt to be reused, or b) get a longer bolt and piggy back both female
ends to the seat, or C) weld a plate to the trans tunnel and use a bolt thru
(this would be the best IMO) it with a large washer (like a subframe type).

2bennett offers an adaptor that allows that side of the harness to mount to
a
factory seat belt "male" end, so that it simply "clicks" into the factory
seat belt mount, and can be easily removed after the track event. I use it
in my car, highly recommended.
