VAC Floor Mounts w/Macht Schnell 3 Point Receptacle?

[2005 330iZHP]

Anyone happen to know if Macht Schnell 3 point factory belt receptacle mounts (https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-3...chnell/?pdk=Aw) work with VAC floor mounts for race seats? I see that the Macht Schnell floor mounts are designed for an E46 but can be modified to fit an E36, but I'd rather just buy a floor mount that's made for the E36 (VAC) rather than have to modify it. However, I'd like to keep the factory 3 point belt receptacle so I can continue to use my Schroth quick fit harnesses and occasionally run 3 point belts on the street.

This is probably what you want instead of those MS brackets:

And pair it with your choice of matrix style floor mounts (VAC and MotionMotorsports sell them).

I know that the Macht Schnell adapters are specifically marketed as allowing you to mount the factory belt receptacle; the VAC mounts appear to be for harnesses, but have you been able to use those VAC adapters to mount factory belt receptacles?

"yes" i am using a rear all cloth buckle attached to a vac mount to slip in side belt hole of OMP seat.

VAC also sells a factory seat belt kit.

I use them for exactly that, factory receptacle bolted to the VAC mount.

Good to know, thanks! The price of the VAC mounts is much more appealing than the Macht Schnell mounts.

For anyone interested in the update, I was able to successfully retain my stock 3 point seat belt mounting points using the VAC seat belt mounts (sedans need both left and right adapters).

Do you have any photos of the installation ?
