    Well the OE belt is looped round the Chrome raile.

    My harnesses have the Carabena type clip thingy, so probably not the safest idea !

    The problem is the harness clip will slide about on the rail, plus 3 point seat belts have different forces working on them than 4 point harnesses.

    from sitting in the drivers seat:

    Remove seatbelt locking mechanism (on your left) this exposes a metal bracket, bolt one side of the harness in there.
    Remove the lower steel loop (on your right, attached to sylll) completly out of car, this exposes another mounting point, bolt the other side in there.

    Viola.

    I don't quite know what everyone is on about !

    I just put the harnesses in without having to remove anything from the car.

    On the chrome loop thingy, i just removed the cap. replaced the bolt with an eyelet bolt and clipped the lapbelt onto that ! Only thing i had to do was remove the seat from the rails, and re-install it !

    Job done !
