So, to confirm, since these harnesses have the yellow on them, they will fit the R56. Even tho the tag states R50?

I will say "yes" it should fit. My guess is that with the ones with the "yellow Schroth" label the tag has more to do with liability and certification than "fit". The one that I have that says "R50/R53", like the one you are showing, is identical to the one I bought that says "R56".

If you want to check it, you only need to snap it into the car's part of the buckle that it uses before you do the whole installation.

Is there a specific angle the rear seat tethers need to be at. It sure is a pain getting them to stay where you want as you torque them into place. I got mine close, but not perfect.

Does anyone know if these will work on the R58 and R59?

I would "guess" no. They need the rear seat safety belt attachment point to work.

Not sure what you mean by "...stay where you want them..." They should go in between the posts of the headrest and down over your shoulders. Tighten the lap belt first so you can't breath (just kidding, but really tight) and then each of the shoulder straps. The length of the strap in the back should be such that you have adjustment room on the shoulder straps. I have never had a problem with them staying put.

Ooops, did I miss read your concern? Are you talking about the metal piece that goes on the safety belt frame bolt????

If that is it, then mine is not "perfect" either. I would think that it should be somewhat in line with the belt as it heads to the seat. That is what I "aimed" for when I did my installation.

Yea, poor description on my part. The rear seat pigtails with the metal bracket.

I did my best to line them up, but yea, not perfect.

As long as I can get my back seat in tomorrow, ran out of daylight today.

I'm curious to know if this harness has enough slack to be used in conjunction with the Monkeybar from Kappasphere and still connect to the rear attachment points.
