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?

VAC also sells a factory seat belt kit.

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).
