Questions about putting bucket seats in with the seat belt harnesses

Where do I find the mounts for the aftermarket bucket seats and where will I install the seat belts??

your car is being prepped for track use, I suggest you invest in an NHRA rule book.
in a race application, the seats have specific mounting requirements that are different than factory mounts. Same goes for the belts.

Chuck gives good advice......if you are installing a 5 point harness, you need to read the IHRA or NHRA rules for a legal installation. A "legal" installation would require a rollbar or rollcage. The shoulder belts always attach to the main hoop cross bar.

If you plan to use the factory belts with aftermarket seats, The factory belts bolt to the floor pan on either side of the seat and on the B pillar.
