5 or 6 Point Belts on an ERA?

Rick, I did what Charles and Tom did...installed a 5-point with a grade 8 bolt, a HD fender washer under the floor pan (but bolted the submarine belt anchor directly to the floor, no spacer) and a lock washer. I now wish I had installed 6-point belts, but these will do.

Thanks everyone for your responses.

I've decided to upgrade/replace my seven year old belts with a new 5-point system. Ordered the 4x4 mounting plates from Jegs and ordered the 5-point harness directly from Crow Enterprises. They make the belts for ERA, so they will be custom sized. I also orderd them without the Crow logos. Because I'm getting lazy, I orderd them with a camlock instead or the duck bill latch. Added a velcro sternum strap and velcro harness pads. John at Crow said they'll ship tomorrow.

Ken - Good to hear from you. If you've been keeping up with the Houston Group, you probably heard about this weekend's incident.
