Mounting Instructions for Arizona Speed and Marine Harness Bar: now posted
Just in case anyone was interested on how it is done. I took pics and put in some instructions.

Nice work.
Two comments:
1. On my car, the stock shoulder strap bolt is a T47. You can force a T50 but the 47 is better.
2. Maybe I got turned around, but it looks like your sub strap fitting is facing forward. If the strap pulls hard on the fitting, it could spin around to the rear and give you some unwanted slack. What we really need is for someone to put a slit in the leather seat cover and foam rubber, so that the sub belt can run straight to its fitting. Like yours, mine has to go over the bar at the front of my seat cushion, and that puts it at a bad angle. I tried tightening it enough to bend the bar a little, and that worked until the fore-aft movement of the seat quit working because its mechanism is in the bar.
