Best Seat Belts (harness) for middy?
I received some spending cash over the holidays and I thought that since I am driving the car around, some seatbelts (or harnesses) would be nice.
Problem is, there are so many choices, I am kind of stuck in a decision loop...
Here is a photo of the car and the seats I am using. The drivers seat (left) is adjustable on sliders. The pass seat is fixed in position.

The car is mainly for street use with occasional track flogging. Probably will get heavily into autocross at some future date.
Sparco sells a very simple 2" wide 4 point harness with an automotive style buckle. Then I also see the 5-point harness with the 3" straps
and the CamLock buckle. That seems like the safest unit.
The final question I have is regarding the mounting style of the belts. I have seen at least 4 different types of latches, loops, y's, etc... Any
specific suggestions as to what style of strap and type of belt mounting is best for my application?
TIA for the suggestions

Someone the other day told me that the clip on style belts were good as you could easily remove them in bad weather when storing the car.
Bearing in mind your location then you may not need these!
