Not an expert, here is a pic of a "wrap around style".  Floor mount mounts to the floor.....problem is in the event of crash your back is compressed by the seat belt pulling down on your body.  Compressing your spine,  explode  not good.    Roll bar mount mounts the belts to tabs welded to the back bar (behind the seat).......this is better than floor mount as it doesnt compress your back.
I need to figure mine out too Dunno

I have tabs on the cross bar behind the seat. I have a second tab that is laced into the belts and bolted to the bar. The easy way to do it is to wrap them around the cross bar

the reason i ask is; for a street car, i was looking for belts that would look and work good,but not have camlock or latch's that were heavy and akward. they needed to hook the my rollbar, so i could't use the stock type..i found some at a car show..4 point ,with good belt materal, with factory type latches.. just what i was looking for.. (a-1 racing products).. i like them alot just looking at them,but since my car is not running, i have not drove with them.

I'm seriously considering these belts even though I won't see track time. They're supposed to meet DOT regs as well as race sanctions. And, they have regular buckles.
