Not sure if the NHRA approves of wrap around for the shoulder belts, see picture attached. If need be I will weld tabs to the cross bar and bolt them in, but hate to weld in a done interior.

Need something to keep belts from sliding. Most have a
metal "hoop" welded on the bar for that purpose.

There's also a prescribed way to route the belt through the metal adjuster....

Yep, before I welded the hoops on back of the bar, the belts would slide off my shoulders. A tech once told me I could use two hose clamps on the back bar to position straps but there are cleaner ways. Also, I run the strap opposite yours so the loose end of strap comes out underneath the buckle and drops to the floor behind the seat twocents thumbs

on the bracket you could fab something up on the bench and use a "split collar" type mount and bolt it to the bar... something like the "grab handle" shown in this link...

Oh, I like these a LOT: http://www.fourtreks.com/modular_clamp_rings.html

When I talked w/ a local race car supplier about replacing my expired belt, they suggested a wrap-around style, but I balked 'cuz I have a tab mounted on my 'bar and wanted to still use that.

However, I think the wrap-around style secured w/ those clamp rings might be an improvement, since it would allow me to better position how the rear straps come around from the back of my OEM E-body high-back bucket seat.

Thanks for the link! up
