Any good links or suggestions to mount a 5 point harness?

I recently received from my sponsor a 3" wide 5 point harness for my 2000 Honda Civic Si. My last harness I used the rear seat bolts and the rear seat belt mounts. My new belts are bolt in and pull down straps, since I'm not running a roll bar (yet).

Is there a better way of mounting a 5 point in a Civic. What about the anti-sub belt? Do you mount that to the floor? Under the seat?

Thanks!

just make sure the angle from the seatback to the should straps is AT LEAST 45 degrees.

I think I got it.

Left lap belt is attached to the stock seat belt anchor bolt.
Right lap belt is attached to the stock seat belt bolt on the seat.
Anti-sub belt wrapped around a bar which is under the seat.
And of course both shoulder belts use the existing rear seat belt bolts.

Does this all look safe? It's only for autocross and of course not for the street.

anti sub belt- i wouldn't just wrap it around any bar under the seat it needs to be able to hold a load.

and the shoulder belts, mounting with out a roll bar is stupid i wouldn't bother USEING IT or mounting it with out a roll bar (sholder straps that are). first off its almost impossible to get the correct angle with out a bar, and if ;;you flip the car you stuck there and your head will get killed. also the length that you will run from the seat to the rear steat bolts is usually WAY to long. (alows to much streching) i do see that you are running in auto X only but the lap and submarine should be plenty to hold you in. its just my personal preferance never to run shoulder straps with out a bar.
