I have a German set of front belts for my CSL. They go from the hat shelf in the rear window, and divide in 2 just before the back of the front seat.
Then over the shoulders to join the side pieces at belly height.
They are no longer available.

What belts do others use for the CSL?

Yes they are Schroth. But they don´t make them anymore.
With regular belts and Scheel seats, the waist/belly band stays a bit in front of the upper body, does it not ?
Do you have the long shoulder strap coming straight from the rear ?
And an automatic reel, vertically mounted in the rear foot well?

As far as I know, CSLs did not come with seatbelts. I've talked about this before, but the profile of the Scheel seat does not provide accomodation for the lap portion of a seatbelt; the bolster is so high that the belt does not rest in your lap as it should. I had a set of Autoflug belts that I tried but could not make them work satisfactorily. With them fastened, they would ride up until the lap portion was resting under my rib cage. That didn't seem like a very good thing. I am using non shoulder harness belts, which make me nervous, but they're the closest thing that I found that met my needs.
