Maybe you should consider putting those harness points higher? There's a very good reason they're not found fitted at floor level and that is that they'd crush your spine if you were retrained by them in the event of a shunt. Maybe a bar between the rear wheel arch tubs would be high enough when combined with the distance they'd be from the seats? Either way, please don't risk severe injury by leaving them anchored there eh?
