Alright I did a seach on how to intall my racing harnesses and couldn't find anything on it so I decided to write this How to. This install is a 4 point cam lock racing harness.

First I wanted to know where to put the lap harness. I looked at a few different bolts and I finally decided to just bolt it to the bolts on the back of the seat brackets where they bolt to the car itself<14mm>.
I kept on looking on how to bolt the shoulder harnesses in but it turns out they were very easy. First you take the bottom of the seat out of the car. There are 2 little levers on the each side of the bottom front of the seat. Remove the seat out of the car and you will see a bunch of bolts. I hooked one of the seat belts the inner belt to the bolt that holds the stock rear buckle <17mm, 19mm>.
The second side of the belt, the outside belt, I was going to hook this to the same position but I decided that this might be unsafe and uncomfortable. So the second side I bolted it to the bottom the the belt bracket where the belt bolts to the car<17mm>.
Then simply fish the inside belt through the hole that the buckle comes though and put the other one to the side. Put the back of the seat in first and then click the front in. They look and feel great.
 
I hope you installed the shoulder belts at the correct angle or you could compressor your sprine during an accident and be paralyzed.
 
following what he said he will get hurt. What i did was used the stock mounting locations for the 2 lap belt pieces, and when i removed the stock shoulder belt i got a piece of 1 1/2 or 1 3/4 fence pole and cut to length and welded on a flat piece of steel to each end. I bolted it from sisde to side where the stock shoulder belts were and its close to the correct angle. I dont have a rear seat so i wasnt worried about any passengers and as far as the 5th or center belt mark a spot remove the seat drill a hole and there ya go
 
It actually is the correct angle and If you dont believe me you can ask the SCCA safety inspector that looked over my car after the build. Also I highly dought a piece of fence is going to pass any type of safety inspection. Infact I know It wont because if it was that easy then people would just use fence poles to make roll cages. Why dont you have back seats?
 
In this way, you should have some good installation of the Racing Harness or Seat Belt in order to really make things work out. In the same way, it should be best if there are diagrams and pictures that you can see in order to really get things on the right track in installing it.
