where do the OEM lap belts connect?

I guess I could go looks, but it's cold outside and I figured someone may know

On the M2, does the OEM lap belt recepticle connect to the seat frame, or to the tunnel/floor?.
Trying to sort out harness mounting for some future modifications.

Thanks.

Receptacle connects to the seat frame so it moves fore/aft with the seat.

Specifically it's attached to the slider, not the seat itself. Here's the only pic I can easily find of it (with Nogaro mounts attached).

I think there's a bolt you could pull off to remove it, though you'll have to build a mount if you want to re-mount it. Note the cord for the seat belt sensor as well.

Forgot to add to my original response that the planted seat mounts have a tab for the OE receptacle, that I’d imagine could also be used for a harness lap belt. I needed a different nut and bolt when I installed the Recaro Speeds, but was able to mount the OE receptacle to it.

I attached a couple photos for reference.
