You can get eye bolts you fix to the floor behind the drivers seat using spreader plates. try here www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk they stock harnesses and mounting accessories. or try searching for Demontweeks
eye bolts ansd spreader plates are in "harnesses" sub category "accessories" at merlin

show me a pic of your harnesses,

In my white fto i have them bolted up where the top of the rear belts.

in the blue they are attached down where the buckles are.

these are safer for standard FTO seats,
whatever you do dont have them just wrapped around the seat, as they will cause the seat to collapse in the event of an accident

Dan will you post pics of your harness arrangements as this may be usefull for anyone planning to install for upcoming trackdays, if we ever manage to get one organised. I tried contacting kirkistown circuit but so far they haven't got back to me.

The best way to fit them......


Dont be tempted to mount the shoulder straps to the rear belt lower lap points.... In a hard impact that will at best, put you in a wheelchair or at worst, kill you...
