I am installing a 6pt harness in my 05 Elise, and going to use the Inokinetic grommets with the stock seat and seat rail. I’m leaning towards the eye bolts through the rear cross member (as opposed to attaching to the stock belt locations on the seat with the S111 Harness Hardware kit and sys6pack). I’ve seen many recommending to put the inboard drivers side bolt next to the seat rail attachment (between the seat rails).

The LH (drivers) inboard seat rail bracket is big and when I did a pre-drilling test fit, I can tell that the eye bolt isn’t going to let the seat go all the way back (pictures attached with seat back and forwards, showing that the seat rail bracket obstructs the mount point).
The Lotus 6pt harness instructions suggest to cut out a section of the center console and put the bolt on the other side (inboard side) of the inboard driver seat. That would allow the seat to go all the way back at the disadvantage of having to cut up the original center console
My question: can anyone confirm if putting the bolt on the side between the rails does indeed impair seat movement with stock 05 seats, and by how much? I’m sort of leaning towards making the cutout to the center console, but wanted to get more opinions.
Thanks!
