I get that the shoulder straps go through the holes in the back of the seat, and over the harness bar. One thing that puzzles me is on the end of those straps is a heavy metal bracket with a hole in it like it supposed to mount somewhere. I don't think it goes over the harness bar and then all the way down to the floor to mount on maybe the seat bolts ? Other option in looking at some pics is maybe it loops around the harness bar (so would have to have those belts on the harness bar somehow and then mount the harness bar) but if that's the case then the big metal mount things just dangle there ?
Also in my infinite wisdom (sic) I have since learned that NASA and some others will not allow 4 point harnesses in HPDEs ? If I read the rules correctly. If so, is there an easy way to convert a 4 point to a 5 point ? Like an additional add on belt ?
Any input appreciated ... the harness bar is similar to the NRG one.

If you have a true harness bar the mounting type is differnt. Sounds like you have eyelet mounting type sometimes used in cars where belts are mounted into eylets rather than around rear bar. You most definitely want 5 or 6 point harness system when driving track. Worth the investment in a very good 6 point harness like Schroth or top end Simpson. My advice is if you are going out on track don't go cheap on your safety equipment.
