GT-3 seats with Schroth belts

I found that it was best to have the stock belts on the outside of the GT-3 seats as in DE events when using the Schroth belts the stock belt interferes with your back. I looked at the submarine installation and I may be wrong but I think the belts are installed wrong. They are to criss cross which will make them more comfortable. Take a look at the belts themself, they have an angle which is intended to be installed criss crossed.

Jenner;
(no problem at all).
Shortly after that picture was taken, the belts were routed through the seat holes, which I think is "correct".

I have mine going through the upper and lower holes of the seat - I think this works best. For DE's, I tape the buckle out of the way.
