otherwise, what kind of seats are you running? i ask as i've been using the factory roll bar with gt3 seats for my harness and, while the geometry isn't perfect, it ain't the worst.
the little loops are for a cargo net.

I've got nrg frp300 bucket seats. Very similar to sparco evo. The geometry is way off. You must be super tall if your shoulders are that high! I'd love to get my hands on some alien seats, but they're probably worth more than the damn car. Lol.
Im not usually too nit-picky about minor details with projects, but the harness install is different. If your shoulder straps are mounted above your shoulders, it will allow for vertical motion during a collision. Now that "close clearance" of the broomstick test becomes your head fully clearing the hoops (kinda like the reverse of submarining, if that makes sense). Look at the pic below and you'll see what I'm trying to avoid.
I agree with your sentiments about the hardware fittings. I think that I've over thought this and looked for something that's too fancy. my truck's gooseneck uses u bolts that are rated to 30,000# and with a 1/8" steel backer plate I think they'll do the job. I'm gonna try to get it rigged up in the next few weeks and I'll post some pics. Now I've just gotta find the damn 1.5" dom tubing that hardware stores DONT sell lol.
