sub belt adjustment question
this is my sub belt for a deist 6 point harness. momo 2012 fixed back seat with sub hole, 996 sliders and planet technolgy seat base.
im going to drill and plate 2 eyelets under the seat for the sub mounts and dont see how someone adjusts the sub belts once mounted.
do i need something else on the sub belt? to me once the belt is mated to the quick clip theres no way to adjust it. am i missing something?

Sub belts are typically "set it and forget it." They are not intended to be adjusted every time you strap in. Instead, test fit and get it right before torquing everything down.
With your set up, moving the seat fore-aft will have some effect on the sub belt length, but that's not the way to do it.
Don't go OCD on sub belt length. Once strapped in, the sub belt shouldn't be as tight as the lap and shoulder belts. It doesn't hold you in, it prevents you from moving out of the other belts' effective range. Just make sure it's comfortable, and that with the shoulder belts pulling upward on the buckle, the lap belts still run across the points of your hip bone.

typically sub has an adjustment bar like these
GT3 sub bar setup
typical through the floor pad eye setup

I don't use eyelet mounts because there just isn't enough room under the seat for them and the adjuster. However, my side brackets are mounted to the floor, so it's extra tight.

sorry forgot the pic. with the planet base and sliders i doubt theres any room for a sub bar so im guessing drilling the eyelets at the back of the tub will be in order. i guess its adjust and leave them

ok i have been searching and reading for hrs. blurry eyed!!
these are my planted technology bases that mount my sliders and seats to the floor. 4 grade 8 bolts. is there any reason i couldnt weld a piece of half pipe on the bottom cross piece and use that as the sub bar?
when the seat is positioned were i like to drive that rear bar is almost directly under my spine.
