I have a Bride Lowmax seat installed and a Hard Dog roll bar with harness bar on the way.
When mounting my 5 point harness, where should I put the bottom 3 straps?
I am thinking about drilling through the trans tunnel, the floor for the ASM, then the floor again for the left side lap belt. Or is there a simpler/better solution I am missing.
Anyone?
What aftermarket seat bracket do you have? Usually they mimic the stock attachment points.
A Schroth 01324 kit should solve your problem though.

If the belt does in fact attach to the bracket, you should be able to use those on the rear bolts that attach the seat bracket to the chassis.
It was a custom made bracket. I have an attach point for the right side lap belt but not the left.
Interesting idea about using the rear bolts to attach the lap belts to the chassis. In theory this should work, but will that not be too much stress on the bolts in the event of a crash? Since they are holding in both the seat and myself? I am no physics major so really have no idea.
I thought the lap points had to be mounted a few inches behind the back of the seat (further back than where the stock points would be). I mounted mine to the transmission tunnel and a corresponding point on the door side.
If your OEM 3 point belt attaches to the seat bracket, and the seat bracket attaches to that point, then that point is designed to take the full weight of everything in an accident.
It probably wouldn't hurt to size a slightly longer, and higher grade bolt to replace the OEM bolt if you do end up slipping one of those brackets in there.
Should have mentioned, I welded in backing plates that had weld nuts on them. I forget which brand they were.
