I have had the frs seats apart and they are a total bodge but this whole issue arose from the chap using the holes for a harness which the seat is not capable of handling, I suggest if you obtain one and you will see for yourself how bad they really are, there is proof content in this thread including pics showing damage caused to seat and driver, what more do you want

Bolting the harness shoulder straps to the rear seat belt points means when you're weight is thrown forward the shoulder straps will pull down compression the spine.
And to be fair,the cars in a really bad state,I would expect some injuries from multiple impacts like that car has had.
not had any mk2 seats yet Lee but I suspect same as you really
