I assume racing harness?

Are you wanting it kind of stock looking? or not?

They got that Shark bar unit, that a lot of guys use! And some integrate the shoulder units to custom lap belts or even the stock. There should be pictures on the internet by a simple search of maybe "C3 Corvette Harness bar"

Based on my experience, you are better off with a 5-point harness. The shoulder straps pull the belt part up to the stomach area and you really don't want it there. I installed the Shark Bar which comes with a mounting attachment for the center strap. The only downside is limited access to the rear compartment but if you have a convertible or tilting sets you'll be mostly OK. On mine, the straps get in the way of the rear but I can pass them through the holes in the seats.
