I use the 5pt cam-lock, see where Glenn asked for one in that thread but the GP was for a 6pt FIA??

My belts are expired this year, need to renew or upgrade. Also, guess I may be looking at a right side window net per the "underground CCR's" too.

Umm, don't do the 5.
Go 6.
Much more comfortable around,... uh,.... the sack area.

only cause my seat is set-up for a 5 pt.

My subs go down thru the same hole and mount just like a single.
Difference is the separator at the camlock.
2 straps are separated by this and go down around you.
Kinda like a parachute harness.
2 to go around instead of 1 right down the middle of the sensitive region.
1 antisubmarine belt when tested would be a hellava injury I presume.
You might live but might not want to.

I have wondered about the best way to use a 6 pt harness in a sedan. In my old ITS car, I switched to a 6 pt, but ran the 2 leg straps through the holes that the lap belts go through and used the same anchor point. So when in the car you sat in the anti-sub belts and they wrapped up around you legs. The lap belt would hold you down in the seat if you were inverted. It was very comfortable that way, but I was never completely sure if it was the recommended way though I have seen this approach used in some formula cars.
