As title, how do I go about fitting these?
The rear seats will be staying in, also will be on standard seats as can't find cheap subframes for my buckets yet.
Pics and help will be repped, cheers

Yeah as matt says. Think it would look a bit silly using harnesses on standard seats
I've found the harnesses hold you into the buckets so you don't move around . The standard seats just dont have enough bolster to warrant being held into imo

I think that what you are thinking of doing is EXTREMELY dangerous tbh.
A harness will have no give in it and the seat is not strong enough to handle this, so what will end up happening is the back of the seat giving way during an accident and it will take you with it, which means you will most likely be in a wheel chair (at best) for the rest of your life.

use duck tap and tap it to the carpet
/troll
on a serious note. gerrad is right the way a OE seat VS bucket seat is meant to react in a accidet is very different.
a bucket is ment to stay ridged and hold you where as a OE seat is meant to collapse and when it does the harness will be doing feck all for you
