I'm sorry for missing this reply so long ago. I used the Schroth retracting harness just for ease of use and the ability to lock it in place when on a race course. It was in my 1989 Camaro and to reach most anything is a stretch in 3rd Gen cars so being able to reach forward and have the belt slack and retract was a definite plus. For the shoulder mounts I had a bar made that mimicked the roof line with plates welded on the ends that anchored to the OEM retractor mounts (at the top, forward edge of the b-pillars) with the bolts for the harness about 8" inboard from the mounts. They were comfortable enough to use in daily driving and a pretty slick set-up that didn't interfere with seat reclining or repositioning for different drivers. I have a photo somewhere, I'll see if I can dig it up...
