In Australia, the rear seats have to have shoulder harnesses
per regulation.
I ordered a full set of belts and harnesses for the front seats
but without inertial reels, and installed them the back. I anchored the
shoulder harnesses to the top outboard area of the main wheel well covers
after reinforcing with a lot of carbon fabric (both sides) that I ran down the
top of the wheel covers to the fuselage side wall and also down the bulkhead at
back. This is to carry the loads into the primary structure since the
wheel well alone is thin fibreglass and structurally inadequate for the task of
supporting the shoulder harnesses of rear seat passengers.
