4 or 6 Point Harness

4 or 6 Point Harness
So we have been breaking out heads trying to figure this out.
After removing the carpet trim behind the seats, we do see a bar (roughly 2x6 or so) which appears to be frame.
Could we mount the shoulder points there or do we have to make a harness bar of some sort?
My biggest issue is that it seems that if we did make a harness bar, it would force me to sit closer to the wheel due to the center between the seats having metal which pokes out further than directly behind the seats. When you're 6'2, that does not seem like an option I want to go with.
Were working closely with a few manufacturers trying to figure out how to mount these safetly without sacrificing space. Any input is welcome, first show is 3 weeks away so were starting to be in a bind!

Ok so those pics are way better than what I could have.
So my question is this:
The bottom 2 points will mount under the seat.
The 2 shoulder points, would they be safe to mount to the bar in the back (rectangle blue and silver bar in the last pic)?
We were going to use bolts with plates on the trunk side to secure them in there.
Furthermore, should I just leave the factory belt hooked up behind the seat so that I don't have to deal with the light?

The height of the seat with rails installed will determine whether or not that bar will work.

The Crown Vic is probably the most successful LeMONS car in the series history. In an endurance race, endurance matters a lot and those things can take the punishment.

So I searched the forums for a race harness, saw the CG Lock recommendations and found out they have since been discontinued due to production cost. I did find a project 7 racing harness online at an offical parts store, but it looks to be sold out. I'm hoping that a minimum they have the mounting brackets (number2) in the image. I'll call around and let you know what I find.
