I've found that in use the Schroth belts are easier to adjust, with the Caterham branded belts and Tillet seats, most find the lap belt adjusters are trapped on the outside of the seats and not easily reachable.

In my general experience schroth better are really good and smooth to adjust, but I expect the price reflects that. I'd always have the crotch strap though.

How do you feel about no crotch strap? I prefer that to ensure you don't submarine

Right, the opportunity arose to purchase a just in date Luke 6 point set for a bargain price....

What bolts etc do I need to install the lower strap that I dont currently have and assuming the existing mounting hardware will do the shoulder/waist straps ?

Existing setup is the nasty road based 4 point with seatbelt fastener

You need some spacers to bridge the gap between the steel tabs and the floor, and then the bolts / nuts / tophats to mount the harness straps. Speak to Chris at Redline and I'm sure he can help.
