Aye up,

I just thought I'd ask for the collective opinion on this...

I have a couple of questions about the location of the eye bolts, for my harnesses.

First, I was planning to fit the eye bolts for the lap straps to the original captive nuts fitted to the car.
My problem is, the outer bolt is in the bottom of the A pillar, but the inner bolt, on the tunnel, is located roughly 6" further back, and 2" higher, as it was the anchor point for a sliding rail that attached to the seat.
Will this be ok to use, or would I be better relocating the inner bolt, so it's level with the outer bolt?

Second, the bolts for the shoulder straps...
They will fit into the top edge of the parcel shelf/seat back panel.
Do I fit them horizontally, so they are facing the back of the seat, or do I fit them vertically, so they are pointing towards the roof?
I think horizontal would be the better way to fit them, but thought I'd ask...

Cheers Frank.

What car are they going in?

have you got a roll cage? if so would be best fitting a harness bar to fit the shoulder straps to.

It's in a 1982 Mercedes 280E, there's no rollcage yet, I'm building it for PPC's £999 Challenge.

I think I'm going to move the inner bolt, so it's equal to the outer bolt.
