I mounted mine on the seat belt holders. As for the rears, remove the rear seat, and use the two outside seat belt holders.

Mail me offline for a more detailed description.

In a car with a cage...

Seriously, if you were ever unlucky enough to roll your car, the 4 point doesn't let your head go anywhere, unlike the standard diagonal belt.

Secondly, it's wrong to fit the belts to the back seat lower seat belt mounts as, unless you've got a fixed back race seat, the shoulder harnesses should run back to mountings parallel to the floor ie parcel shelf height. This is because the back of the ordinary scooby seats can collapse if the belts come up at an angle from seat level leaving you flying around inside the car in a crash. Not good.

I have a removable safety devices roll cage with a 4 point harness atached at the right height, which I use on track, and I use the ordinary diagonal belts on the road when the cage isn't in.

Bit of a downer, but best not to lose your head...
