Viperholics,

When I purchased my '98 GTS, the car only had aftermarket (Snakeoyl) 5-points installed. The original owner removed the 3-point belts. I would now like to re-install the 3-points. After quickly viewing the seats, I assume the 1 piece of the assembly installs near the door to hold the female/receiver part, as the belt tensioner bolts behind the bulkhead. Here's my questions:

1.) Any tips/suggestions?
2.) Should I be able to re-install the female part without removing the seats? I think I can access the hole without removing the seat.
3.) I assume the electrical connection is used on the drivers side, correct?
4.) Is the bulkhead hard to remove? I was just going to follow the procedure outlined in the 'Team Tech 5-point' install instructions, contained on this sight.
5.) I assume I can use the eye bolts that are used with the 5-point, to remount the stock hardware, correct?

I know this is probably and easy job, and most of these questions are obvious. But why not pick the brain of someone who has already done the procedure. From my experience with cars, sometimes the most simple jobs give the most problems. I have included a pic. of the parts I have available. Thanks in advance for any help.

P.S. - I do realize I have the seat belt in question, with the red 'push' button being raised. I will keep an eye on the safety post. Thanks.

You can use the same eyebolts, however, you will have to you a sleeve/spacer on the lap belts if you want to keep the 5-points and the factory belts at the same time.

The seats come out in minutes. Make sure you have the torx bolts for the retractors.
