I use a racing belt in my TR4 with a 4 point harness when I
autocross. I wouldn't recommend this set-up for daily driving
though. At least not without a good rollbar. The lower belt is
attached to the usual points for our TRs, The shoulder harness
is attached to an eye-bolt on the deck behind the seat (where my
daughters used to sit when they were younger). The shoulder harness
is removable (when I'm not autocrossing) and is connected to the
eye-bolt by a screw link (?) (it looks like a link of chain with
one side that has a threaded opening). The harness passes through
a horizontal brace on a custom rollbar as per SCCA recommendations.
