Question Seat belt install?

I was wondering if anyone knows where i can get a monkey bar for our civic. By monkey bar I really mean the bar that goes directly in front of the back seat and goes from left to right on the floor. If there is not one out there how can I hook up 4 point belts? Thaks!!!!!!!!!

You cannot hook them up to a floor bar... this is by FIA regulation (not like anyone in this country cares), but you will never pass a race day tech inspection, nor is it safe. You can bolt the harnesses into the back seat belt brackets (as long as the angle between the mounting point and where it contacts your shoulders is less than 45 degrees from horizontal, but you shouldn't be driving on the street with harnesses and no roll bar anyways.READ THIS

thanks boilermaker, I have a second question for you. I know I can hook them to the back seat belt bolts but are the sparco 4 point harnesses going to be long enough. Also is sparco really the best belt manufacturer or are there other companys out there that have good looking belts as well, my only request is that they are black. THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just installed a 4 point schroth profi 2 flexi harness, I don't even have a race seat, but plan on getting one soon, the reason I discovered why you don't want less of an angle then 45 is that the seat will get crushed, because the force will be put on it rather than the car.

Good looking belts? What does that mean?
All the harnesses should have tail straps long enough to reach the back seats.
As far as other brands go... Schroth, Sabelt, Simpson, Takata (they're green), I personally have an OMP in my car, but I only use it for autocross.
