there is a thread somewhere (probably in the racing section) for mounting the harness to the bulkhead. the reason he did this was because the harddog roll bar he had had the harness bar mounted low on purpose, but the bulkhead holding the seatbelts blocked the harness, and he needed to keep the seatbelts i think. anyway, you could do the same thing, assuming you reinforce the area properly (i think he probably shows in pics how he did it.)

that said, you should never run a 4-point. it's not safe. stick with your oem 3-point, or get a 5/6-point anti-submarine system.

also note that there are people who would argue mounting the straps low (like to the bulkhead) would also not be safe, as in a collision it would compress your spine. something to think about. i know all those jdm race cars mount them this way, but that doesn't mean it's safe.
