You need to pick up three anchor points. The bottom of the post with door latch is convenient as is the transmission tunnel between the battery boxes. I welded a nut at a strong point on the hoop where the hood fixes behind the shoulder to hold the bolt for the passenger's shoulder belt. But for racing I took the driver's full harness straps back around the chassis tube which you can do if you take out the boot compartment. I have had full harnesses as well as lap and diagonal so now have a selecting of fixings on the hoop.

Look up bucket hotrod belts, I don't have a picture but many reverse the usual pattern of having the belts on the door post, and instead they go back to the area where the j
luggage compartment is . My ex wife KIA a
had the rear centre passenger inertial belts in a similar way,
Good memories of Bradfords.

Yes when I had lap and diagonal both belts went to a central fixing on the hood hoop.
