That and an extra metal band across under the seats so the lower part of the 6 point harness can be fitted properly.

Interesting, I've just ordered the extra straps (2) for my Schroth and was wondering how to fit them safely - could you post a picture of this and the front loop? Cheers

 

Thanks for the info one and all - i'll take @AdamR advice and try to keep it on track and also add a TOW-> sticker to the roll bar.

 

Might have to get a loop welded over winter at next strip down.

I can’t get a half decent picture of the rear situation without the seats out (I’ve tried believe me!)

 

But this is the front one. There are two 3-4inch wide Bands above the floor that are welded across the areas where the seats bolt through the floor. The crotch strap is fixed with a bolt through the rear one of those and runs via a hole in the seat to the buckle.  
 

I’ve attached a picture of the front tow hook. And yes the car is about to be cleaned! The front plate will have to be removed for track days. 
 

I hope this helps.

Looks good. You should paint it a bright colour.

Have you thought about the angles a recovery truck will have the tow line at. Anything higher than 'normal' tow bar height could press against your nose cone, so if they are using a crane or winch on the back of a truck could end up a bit messy

Great, thanks for the pictures.  Yes was thinking of adding another bracing plate across the ally floor. Learnt to take front plate off after 1st track day!
