Default Harness mount positions

Just a quick one !

Can anyone see a problem with the top harness mounts being on the cabin side of the rear roll bar ? I have bought some westfield harnesses that are snap fittings on the top and bolt in at the bottom but to get the best position for routing them around the seats means the eyebolt will be in / close to the main hoop pointing to the front of the car on the outer shoulder straps ?

I have the same type of harness mounts but mine are Willan,s,

I realise that my seats are not the same as per your fitment position but I,ve fitted the Hooped "eyelets" for the upper harness mount & covered them in trim ( securely ) & used a small split pin to stop the snap fitting from being opened,
here,s 2 photos, MAYBE they are helpful ?
cheers

You don't have to put the harnesses through the seats, they can just go around.

It would be easier to go through the seat as i could locate them in the same manner as andy.

Do yours bolt all the way through andy into another thread ? I was just planning the nut welded onto the top of the crossbrace with a hole in the bar. Captive. Ut as it were ?

The tube should be threaded all the way through and the seat eye bolt long enough to go the length of the tube
