are you refering to harnesses??

you should recieve eyelets with the harnesses,

in the back they screw in where the rear seatbelt clip went, and where lower end of the rear seatbelt bolted to the car
in the front you can take the bolt out of the pretensioner to remove that a screw in an eyelet in its place, and finally at the bottom of the B-piller there is a hole that originally secured the lower end of the front seatbelt to the car, that is where final eyelet will go!!

if you're using aftermarket seats you may have to bolt one of the eyelets through the floor with a spreader plate,
and if you wish to keep the rear seats or all the original seatbelts, you may need to get a little more creative!! lol

pic! you might have to save it and zoom in a bit, but it kinda shows some of the mounting points! (best ive got im afraid)

As above also it's not a good idea to use them on standard seats.

hmm thats an ongoing debate about the safety of using them with standard seatbelts, not sure what i beleve in that department tbh

yes I mean to install harnesses.
can is it possible to install harnesses without moving/cause damage rear seat ?
aslo can i get a picture of Places were You talking about.

Last question, can I make it myself at home ?the installation?
Thanks again

Rear seats will need to be removed so you can use their mounting points but it is all easy to return to standard. You can do them at home but if you are not confident i would get someone else to do it for you.

sorry, i dont and cant get any more pics of the car, shes long gone!!

3point harnesses you could probs install without removing the rear seats,
just remove the bolt that retains the rear seatbelt clip and use the eyelet as a bolt to secure the clip! but it will still be awkward getting people in the back of the car!!

and of course it can be done at home, its just a case of removing bolts!! as long as you have a socket set, it will be pretty simple!!
and use a very srong screwdrew to tighten the eyelets up!! (prefs with a solid box sectional shaft!!), or a solid bar!
