This isn't exactly my area, but I bet you would want to make some beefy mount points to run your harness from. The one accident I was in with a LUV I bent up the stock mount point for the belt pretty and it wasn't that high speed of a wreck. Something that ties to the frame instead of sheetmetal will make that harness a whole lot more effective in a real crash.

I can tell you to keep away from mid-late 70s camaro bucket seats unless you are about 5ft tall or under. They take up way too much room and sit too high. I'm pretty comfy once I'm in other than always having my knees bent, but getting in and out is a total pain. From the sounds of it though, you are looking more for something in an aftermarket racing style seat rather than a cheap swap from another vehicle type.

i just put in a set in my truck.everyone i talked to said to ut a plate under the floor board for each of your mounting points that you have to drill thru the floor. like the crotch strap and shoulder harness mount.they suggested a 6"x6" plate to prevent pull thru of the bolt basically the same plate they use for the roll cage kits.as far as the lap belt portion of the harness i was able to attach those to the stock seat belt holes.used the factory bolts from the stock belts. of coarse your buckets maybe different than mine so that might not work for you. later terry :twisted:
