    Has anybody installed these with 6-point harnesses? I'm curious how people decided to mount their belt hardware.

    I did install a 6 point. I have Schroth belts and I used their mounting hardware to mount the sub and lap belt hooks. They come with some decent backing plates, and I just drilled through the floor. I did have to go pretty far back as there is a lot of wiring under the seat you need to look out for.

    Ryan told me about VAC motorsports. I'm a BMW ignoramus so I never knew about them. I have a bunch of hardware on order with them. Now the wait... :cool:

    I realize this thread is older than dirt but it's excellent! Can anyone who's done this mod confirm if the Gen 2 seats have remained constant insofar as the mounting hardware is concerned? I have a 2013 model and am hoping to use the Brey Krause adapters modded as posted here. Thanks in advance for any insight anyone might have.
