Be very careful to keep the shoulder link (where it ties to the tub) no 
lower than the shoulder, as spine compression could result in an 
accident.  In a stock TR, this is a major challenge.  In my TR4 I 
mounted a roll bar, bolted to the frame at the floor and large plates 
thru the wheel arches, then I routed the shoulder belt over the bar 
cross tube which I mounted just above shoulder level.
