the way nycclaye has it is improper according to what i have read and seen from where the harness come out of the top of the seat it should be no more the 20 degrees up or down

like this

read further my friend... you can find especially if you not only read (remember at on time on "parchment" people believed the world was flat and we found that to be completly false unless you still believe it) but call the company they'll tell you where to mount the lines on a non-harness bar set-up. "yes" to include mine where I asked them if it would be within their safety net of NOT 20% but actually 40%...

Every set-up is different. but like i said earlier, believe what you want. I've already been into a rear end collision in mine and I promise the seat belt WOULD NOT have saved my life, chest, shoulders, waist, basically my whole body like the sparco harness did and that was going off Sparco's recommendations of where to mount it in my car.

It is your life, your car, do your own research but keep an open mind unlike some....

actually you don't wanna put it on the B-Pillar. If you look at how it would actually mount, it would SEVER YOUR NECK if itt was pulled hard enough. I put mine there and when I sat down, i realized my mistake very quickly. I wouldn't recommend putting them there because the lines on a 4pt harness must "cross" behind the seat. look closely at my pictures above and you'd see why you wouldn't wanna do that if you were in an accident.
