Racing Harness Mods

Hi All
I've been pestering Bob about how on earth I'm going to make our harness mount properly since we've changed the seat in our bellytank. Problem is that where we had barely enough room to get the mounting points right so that we could tighten the lap belts properly, now we are lower and further back....it can't be done. The floor and the sides of the car are too close, or the belts are too long .
Now I have worked out part of a solution that involves attaching another piece of roll tube as a saddle above the lower frame tubes so as to pass the belt around(under) it and then mount the eyelet on the mid-line bar...this will give us plenty of length but the new problem is that it means the adjusters pull down...that won't do.
I've worked out that the adjusters could be turned around so they pull up but this will involve the belts being re-stitched. I assume that this has to be done by a recognized manufacturer........ here's the 64 dollar question
who?
Thanks everyone
