You should make sure that the rear section of the belt is at no more than a 45deg angle from the horizontal at the point where it leaves the holes in the seat. Any more and you run the risk of breaking your shoulders in a heavy smash. Ideally they should be closer to 90deg. Like Shings suggested, there are mounting points where the rear seats were although i think they are off to one side. You can buy pre-threaded mounting plates from places like Semon-Tweeks that can be welded in the the ideal position.

As above for the rear belts there is a mandatory maximum limit of -45ş from the horizontal (as John L's pic), If you want to keep your body intact.

The lap belts should idealy angle 65ş rearward.

The MSA havn't yet realised that the seat in their Blue book is incorrectly fitted, the back part of the seat should be shown/drawn vertical
