R9001 - Tunnel side belt mount
R9003 - Outside side belt mounts. This is the one with the 2 piece spacer.
With the Schroth 6 point, the sub belts mount to the same point as the side belts. I think that's true for all 6 point belts.

OK, thanks. I thought you must have a different harness bar as I didn't have to fool with seat stops.
About the R9001 tunnel side belt mounts. I wasn't happy with the way the lap and sub belt clip into the opening on the R9001. I felt the opening was much too small, the clips didn't align right and the risk of the clips accidentally un-clipping too great. Maybe that's just me <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> . I saw what B-K makes for the Corvette; it has two holes, one for each belt. I talked with other people who use the R9001 and they said it's common to enlarge the clip hole so two belt clips can attach and easily move and align. So I had a machine shop mill out the opening so the sides of the opening are now .135" at it's narrowest. I'm happy with how the belts clip in now; the sub belt clip can angle down towards the seat bottom and the lap belt clip can point upwards. I believe this part is still one of the strongest parts of the harness system, even after removing the metal.

Kerry, I see your point. I could barely get the two clamps in on the tunnel side, much less orient them they way I feel they should be. As you said, sub-belt down and lap belt up. 0.135" huh? OK. It's off to the mill shop I go.
Seems like they could easily have designed one with a bigger hoop. Know any one that does have that design?
Thanks.

Sorry I'm so late with this, been out of town.
No, I don't. I had my dealer contact B-K to see if they would make a modified R9001 and they got no response. I had the dealer send a picture of what I'd done; again, no response.
Here's what mine looked like after they will milled out. I was hoping the shop wouldn't make the bottom of the opening thinner than the top, but I think they had to in order for it to fit. Notice the top part of the opening is not milled out, just the bottom.
