Central Harness Eyebolt Strengthening Plate Positioning

[chipstick 382 1 Cars]

I'm looking to fit my central harness lap belt fixings.

 

I'd like to see where others have mounted them. The ideal position for mine would be just behind the handbrake, but the cables are in the way.

 

The strengthening plates I have are the larger square items, not the smaller threaded strips which would appear to fit easier, but aren't approved from what I read so people must have had success with the larger ones.

 

The tunnel past the handbrake cable points are too far back for where my seats are mounted. I don't want to mount them on the side mounts either like I have seen.

 

Any pics would be great

Anybody please?

Why? This is the best place to mount them. They want to be pulling back on you not down.

In that Schroth document the ideal angle is shown on page 23. I believe by mounting behind the handbrake area I'd be crumpling the lap strap as it wouldn't be straight against the seat slot as shown on page 60.

Had a good lay down under the car with the 2 plates and due to the area of them I'm not going to get 2 back there without chopping them down.

 

Found a picture in someone's project thread of one eye bolt placed central taking both lap belts in this fashion:

 

 

 

 

I wouldn't say it was ideal as the clips then force against each other.

 

Torn between reducing the backing plate size and using one. Unless there's a position in missing which can take 2 of the plates flat against the floor underneath?
