my 3 point harnesses arrived 2day today and im going to fit them to my rear strut brace.
ive already fitted them 90%, theyre attached to the brace, properly fitted round the seat but theres 1 part im not sure what to do with. its the 2 straps that go around the bottom/side of the seat - they have a metal attachement at the end with what looks to be a bolt hole through them. im not sure where im supposed to fit this, any help please?

u dont need that bar cos u dont have the seta belt there. jst get rid of it and put the harness to were the bolt of the bar went. or i suppose, u could put the harness around the bar,not sure which is safest

exaclty, id rather trim the standard seats and whole car for the price of buying 'not bucket shaped' recliners. if u want a bucket seat u shud get the proper thing, imho of course.

thanx for the advice, ive decided to attach the seat belt to the rear seat mount as opposed to wrapping it around the strut brace. i bought the brace from corsacentre.com, however, it isnt a direct fit brace (doesnt go into the original strut mounts) and required holes to be drilled through the body before being bolted on
