I wouldn't be mounting your harnesses under the rear seats, far too low. If you have an accident the angle of the harnesses will do more harm than good.

Might be worth looking at getting a proper harness bar

[minilee94]

Okay what about the top part of the rear seat panel with spreader plates about 6 inches down from the top

[benjy_18]

Not a great deal of strength in the rear seat area, some people do use the standard rear seatbelt points on the bottom area of the rear seat bench but again this is lower than ideal.
There is a chap in the traders section selling harness bars which bolt to the rear arches, which would look good considering you have a cage fitted aswell.

Hope it helps

Hmm the only thing is that my rear sub board is in the way

I will make a thread for pics of harness bars mounted to the arches and see if I can see if my board is in the way

If you are a confident welder, then you could weld in your own harness bar across the rear legs of your cage.
