So after a brief search and taking receipt of a CG Lock belt grip, I find the 2015 latch is too wide for the clamp section of the lock.

Without going into the CG Locks are crap debate.. mixed reviews everywhere I look - has anyone successfully fitted a lock to the S550 belt.?

I hadn’t noticed that the S550 latch hoop is so thick, that tightening the clamp onto it is next to impossible, without some serious machining or grinding.

I looked into these as well and after doing some reading found out they would not work on our cars.

They don't fit how they are suppose to.
With that said, I still use them and they will lock and keep me planted in my seat. No issues...
I still think they are worth it and like mine. They bottom out on the latch and hold me down in the seat.

I have one and this thread prompted me to test it. It works. It didn't fit the buckle on my 2012 either but it still worked.

A better alternative in my opinion is to install the lap belt portion from a racing harness and use that in conjunction with the factory belt. You just have to unbolt the factory belt at the floor and put the lap belt under the factory belt. If you hit up someone that races in SCCA or NASA they will likely have a set of belts that have aged out and can no longer be used. That is where my old belts go....

I just twist the belt a few times before plugging it in.

Like I said it still works, and it's a good cheap addition.
With that said, with NT01 tires I having a hard time keep myself not shifting side to side.
Most corvettes can't keep up with me on the NT01s, I'm possibly looking for 4 point harness that I can get on/off for the track(daily driver).
