Default alternate to through the floor pan mounting for sub belts?

Hi
I realize that conventional wisdom dictates that most of us drill through the floor pan and install eye bolts for sub strap attachment points.

I am resisting that path purely because ii don't want to drill holes in the car.
I realize many of you think that's foolish, please try to put that aside.

I've seen two alternatives;
1. Around the thigh harnesses, similar to a parachute harness, that attaches twice to the existing lap belt attachment points. People here in So. Cal, frown on this because it is;
A. unconventional
B. perhaps not well suited for upright seats, local vendor SUBESPORT does not recommend this path for upright seats.
C. creates a busy attachment point

2. Fabricating a bar that runs under the seat pan to wrap the sub belt around.

I'd like to try # 2, but am getting conflicting information as to whether or not i can use the seat mounts to attach the bar to, or if i have to sandwich the bar between the seat mounts and the floor pan somehow.

I run in PCA and POC events.

The car is a 96 4S.

Looking forward to your thoughts and or photo's if you've gone down this path.

thanks

Craig

you are both correct, and i did see this thread , but having other people's input is also desirable.

thanks for your help.
