Harness bar, roll bar, or cage will have suitable mounting points.

What I did was attach the 2 rear points on the backseat lower seatbelt points.
for the front you can use the lower point on the doorside where your original seatbelt is attached and on the other side unscrew the bolt which attaches the seatbelt clip. and use that hole

lude is currently in the garage till I get a better job (study+appartment is sucking up all my money) so unfortunatly no pics, but here's a quick schematic:



hope it's a bit clear

on my lude I welded a metal plate on the inside part of the seats cuz I had a custom seat rail made for my seats, but this should work aswell

^^ I was under the impression that that is a very wrong way to do it.

You don't, unless you have a cage.

It can be very dangerous with out a proper harness bar behind the seats. when the harness is anchored lower then shoulder height, when you have an accident the harness will pull down on your shoulders and crush your back.

Till you Seriously need them and can do it right, OEM FTW

you just have to mount them at the correct angle. I mounted mine to the floor since i dont have a backseat.
