If you are running a traditional reclining seat in your vehicle and using a 5 or 6 point harness by running the sub belts over the front of the seat, you are compromising the effectiveness of the sub belt. When you do this, you are putting the camlock mechanism at an angle it was not designed for and therefore reducing the sub-belts ability to prevent you from submarining under the lap belts. What you need is a seat with a 5th harness slot in the base of the seat.

Corbeau has the option to add a "5th slot", otherwise known as a harness sub-belt hole, to any of their reclining seats. This 5th slot is installed in the base of the seat (see photo below) where you can run your submarine strap on a 5 or 6-point harness belt and eliminates having to run the submarine strap over the front of the seat cushion.

NOTE: Corbeau fixed back racing seats are already equipped with this harness sub-belt hole.

HOW TO ORDER:
