just got my buckets in and have a 3/4 point harness now my question is

where do i mount the seat belts

im guessing rear seat belt plug holes and where the seat belt runner is on the outside side of the seat but where do i bolt the inner bit (ie near the handbrake)
:panic::panic::panic:

is there no tag on the subframe for the harness to clip too?
if not you will have to make your own :)

Drill a hole in the tunnel and put spreader plates in by the exhaust for the eyebolt to thread into

Its the only safe way

i have mine bolted to rear seat belt clip in the middle then the right bolted to the bottom where standard belt bar was and the left onto the floor where seat mounts but i have just bought a eyelet kit which will be fitted in the near future.

ive been looking at these plates and was gonna mount 2 plated on the tunnel and weld them on, that an ok place to mount them?

I've got a 3 point harness in atm, just to get it through the MOT. 6 points will be sorted after.

The lap belt is mounted to the seatbelt bolt by the door and the other end is mounted to my custom subframes from Ben on here.

The shoulder belts are mounted to the C pillar, prevents spine damage.

is it really that bad if i mounted them where the rear seatbelt plug goes?

Welding plates to the tunnel is fine

Id weld them to the underside of the car personally so it has to pull through which is impossible to come free but have seen it done on top

Mine werent welded but passed an mot

I have spreader plates welded on top. They have a thread in them, also have a nut on the underside of the car just incase.
