I have no idea, but...when did you get a Fox? Did you get rid of your white Stang? Nice looking seat

What is it bolted to? Normally there wrapped or attached to a roll bar/cage. They do may harness bars for cars with out cages.

Nice seats.

NHRA RULEBOOK

Driver Restraint Systems
A quick-release, 3-inch shoulder harness meeting SFI Spec 16.1, including crotch strap, is mandatory in all
cars in competition required by the rules to have a roll bar or a roll cage. Driver restraint system must be
clearly labeled as meeting SFI Spec 16.1 and be dated by manufacturer. System must be updated at two-year
intervals from date of manufacture. All seat belt and shoulder harness installations must be mutually
compatible, originally designed to be used with each other, and produced by the same manufacturer. Cars
using OEM or OEM type seat may route crotch strap in front of seat instead of through seat. Only those units
that release all five attachment points in one motion are permitted. When arm restraints are worn with a
restraint system that utilizes a "latch lever", a protective cover must be installed to prevent arm restraint
from accidentally releasing the latch lever. Protective cover not needed if system uses "duckbill" latch
hardware. All harness sections must be mounted to the frame, crossmember, or reinforced mounting, and
installed to limit driver's body travel both upward and forward. Seat belts may not be wrapped around lower
frame rails. Under no circumstances are bolts inserted through belt webbing permitted for mounting. Check
manufacturers instructions.

my buddy had his harness mounted that way in his turbo nissan 240sx and someone at capitol caught him in time and kicked him outta there

Seats look awesome.

From what I understand, the optimal point is mounted very close to sholder height for one reason. Restraints are supposed to hold you back, however when the attachment point is low, when in an accident the belt want to compress the spine. If the belts go through the back of the seat, the fulcrum is moved higher so it wont compress the spine. It is ALWAYS recommended to run a crossbar mounted to the frame or outriggers for PROPER installation of restraints.
