Sorry dude but the only safe way to mount it is with a roll cage.

Don't install them unless you have a full cage.

Ya, from what I have read without a roll cage it will do more harm than good in an accident.

roll cage or nothing. yes some seats have provisions to mount the harness to it, but they are actually less safe then not wearing a seatbelt.

Re: where to mount these?

are there any three belt design systems that bolt in stock spots (overhead, left, right) but have a harness style setup so i can put the belts through the holes in the seat rather than having to search for them behind the seat all the time because there is no seatbelt guide on it.

Re: where to mount these?

Other than making your own belt guides for your current seats there isn't anything out there that i going to be a quick fix.
