Harness installation on CLK BS
Harness are installed, My workshop found a very good solution
For the front installation, I replaced OEM bolts by ring screw (not sure of the transduction)
For the rear installation, it was not so easy
But my workshop chose to use the horizontal black sleeper. It looks like OEM

From behind
It is really great. I do not need to unscrew the ring screw to put back the rear covers
For harness use, I just need to remove the rear seat covers -2 torx screws)

The laps belts are the ones that go across your waist. They should also be bolted to the chassis. While to did a clean install, they would probably injure your back if you ever needed them. Shoulder harness' should be mounted up higher (to a roll bar) preferably. When mounted to the floor like you did, your spine will compress if you stop quickly. The lack of crotch belt can cause you to submarine under the lap belts which can cause major back injuries as well. You should do some research.

I'm surprised no one else has chimed in. Hope you don't think I'm being critical just to be a dick. Its just that you have an extremely dangerous setup now, not to mention uncomfortable. With a proper restraint system, the crotch belt is pre adjusted and basically keeps the lap belts in the proper place. You first tighten the lap belts, and then snug up the shoulders. The way you have it the shoulder harness is pulling the lap belt straight up. If you got into an accident, you would end up submarining under the lap belt and at best just breaking your back.

I must say I wouldn't be comfortable using this solution. The cross member is only bolt in and its not a particularly tough looking piece of metal. As Ron says, lap belts should be attached to the chassis not the seat.
I really think you need to look at a half cage if you want to go down this route.
