harnesses

where is the best place to bolt the inside harness strap to? rear will go to rear seat belt point, outside strap will go to outside belt point.
only place i can see to bolt the inside of the harness is the subframe mounting point?

Harness bar or roll cage, anything else and you are risking being hurt if you have a big off!

Ohh and not to preach, but if you roll with fixed back bucket seats, harnesses and no roll cage it's going to smart a bit.

i aint got either. no good bolting it to the chassis where the seat frame goes then?

So long as you stay between 0 and 45 degrees you should be fine, but anymore than 45 degrees you risk a nasty back injury in the event of a big off. The force of the accident pulls down on the harness instead of across it, if that makes sense.

Also, in the event of a roll, if the roof crushes and you are strapped upright the only thing that will stop the roof crushing is your head. When using normal seatbelts you'll roll forward, which is impossible in harnesses.

you need to fit an eye bolt and backing plate to the transmission tunnel for the inside harness mounting point.

do you weld that onto the inside or underneath and drill through?

Weld it underneath.
