Can you still run the stock 3-point belt if you install aftermarket seats like Brides? Wheres does the seatbelt buckle receiver attach to? Does aftermarket sear rails provide a mounting point for it?

Im getting Brides, but dont want to run harnesses for daily driving.

thanks in advance for any insight regarding this!

Yes, most seat rails built specifically for the car will include the mounting point for the stock 3 pt. I know my Sparco rails did

thanks for the insight. Hopefully thats the case with Bride seat rails... Can any bride seat owners confirm this?

Yes, Bride seat rails have a place for you to mount the stock seat belt buckle.

Even if there is a place to mount the seatbelt, if you are thin then the belt may ride on the side bolsters of the seat rather than your mid-section, which is not safe. This is a problem for me and I'm 5'11" and about 155-160 lbs.

That is an interesting point. I am looking into getting Bride Vorga seats. I wanted to get the 4-point harness for it, but not the harness bar. So if I have to have the harness bar, then I will just stick with the stock seat belt arrangement. I just wanted to know if the stock belts would fit the Brides as well as they fit the stock Recaros.
