Cheap 4-point harnesses?

Cheap 4-point harnesses?
Does anyone know where I can get some cheap 4-point or 3-point harnesses? I'm looking for a pair of them to go with some new seats from Jeg's. They don't need to be super-fancy, just reliable enough to keep me and my passenger in the seats in the case of a rollover.

What exactly is the right way to do it? I plan on running a horizontal bar behind the seats attached to the roll cage, and I will weld tabs to that bar so I can attach the harness there, and then I'll probably weld some tabs to the floor on each side of the seat to bolt the side straps to. Is there anything else I'd need to know about it?
Gil, what brand do you have and how much did they cost? I may be able to get a hook-up on harnesses through a friend of mine, but I don't even know what brands are good or bad.

That's a good diagram! I know better than to mount the shoulder straps at the floor, but I didn't know the proper angles for mounting the straps. I also found some harnesses on Jegs that I didn't see before for about $65 each, so I will likely go with those once I save up some more money.

anywho, just get belts that have been certified and you will be safe.

Sorry I did'nt catch this sooner.
I've been (off and on) a seating engineer for 7.5 yrs now.
Kyle, the way you describe mounting to the roll bar is fine. Just keep the shoulder belt length as short as is reasonably possible. The looser they are the more likely you'll slide out in a violent roll. If thats a possiblity I'd suggest a little strap be sewn between the shoulder straps and as close to the back of the seat as is possible. (just copy the sew pattern and thread count that you see on a reg seat belt. Oh and use a heavy duty type of thread)

Yes I'll be getting two. Shoot me a PM with how much you're looking to get for them... I'm really short on cash after a couple recent purchases.
The vehicle won't be going very fast with a 1.3L motor, 6.5:1 low range, and 5.13 axles! I'm more concerned with keeping passengers inside the vehicle in the event of a rollover.
