I'm sort of an average height guy at 5'11, and sit with my knees almost knocking the steering column. Even with the seat forward enough for me to do that, the stock mounting location on a 4 door appears to not be far enough back. The Scroth suggested angle should be 60 degrees off the horizontal
and the Sparco seat hole would suggest agreement. But using the stock bolt hole I get something closer to an 80 degree offset, which also causes a slight twist in the belt as it goes through the seat pass through.
looking at the side, camera facing somewhat down, but held horizontally level.
Looking straight down.
As an aside, the OMP belt also doesn't really fit here. The length on the pull up belts puts the buckle uncomfortably close to the seat pass through.
I'm thinking I'll need to drill a hole (avoiding the brake lines) a few inches rear of the stock bolt hole. The entire internet sees the stock position as such a "well duh" place to bolt the lap belt that I had to ask here what everyone else is doing.
Thanks for any comments or suggestions!
