Default 5 point harness and cross bar installation?

Just bought 2 5 point harnesses from a forum member and am looking into buying a cross bar used from another forum. I can run a harness on the drivers side and for the passenger of my car to correct? How hard is this to install. No instructions with the used one so I figured I woud ask. I want to start dragging and autocrossing soon so I figured that I better be prepared for the worst and try to make my car a little safer.

Should be pretty self explanatory. You'll need some type of hardware under the front of your seat to attach the 5th point.

I would think that a cross bar is needed for the uppers, the other 2 should be self explanitory (stock mounts). Another concern would be what is suporting the middle through the floor (extra plate etc. on back side of flooring?)

Unless the cross bar comes with the hardware to mount the 5th point to the floor, use something like the Brey-Krause anti-submarine bar for our c4s.
