Sorry but your wrong, the seat was never designed to use harness's with, the harness holes are just for show, look at the 2 headrest rods, a proper race seat is properly built around this area, the harness fitting wasn't the reason.
only recently since hans devices have become compulsory for MSA racing have the MSA changed there directive on the angle of the harnesses behind the seat for racing meaning the angle it could be previously was deemed safe
