Seat belts/Harness advice needed

[dubber91]

Hi all, New to the forum, not sure where this post should be!

i'm in the process of building a custom frame that is to sit beneath a VW beetle shell. i've mounted the seats and bits and understand the requirement for seat belts, however i have a question regarding the rear-facing mounting points.

I have a cross-bar running across the roll hoop that is at the correct height for the seatbelts exiting from the eyes on the bucket seats. i intended to use either 'wrap around' style harnesses or to use the cross-bar as a roller so the seat belt runs out of the rear of the seat, over the roll bar (changing angles) and being bolted firmly to the floor. The question is, is this legal? I dont see how adding a very firmly welded bar to ensure the seatbelt exits the rear of the seat at the right angle can possible be cause for concern? Any help appreciated guys.

Brilliant news, thanks! Well the chassis is a complete box/tube frame anyway - and i was going to use through-style UNF threaded inserts - A Picture:
