Thanks guys for the pictures. Pappy, I'm leaning towds your location. I had already thought of doing something in that cluster to hold the harness and beef-up that cluster area. So I finally feel I've enough oppionions to form my own, ha. So hopefully tomorrow (Thurs) I'll finish the day with some new attach points.
Who knew a amazon had LEXL harnesses in stock. I've been in touch with CROW and like thier offerings so now I've another to compare them with.

I plan on attaching my upper harness to the tube running from the wing mount tube to the top rear longeron. I wanted the mounting point to be higher than my shoulders.

I welded a crossbar back there... I was able to eliminate the seatbelt brackets & the bolts, saving weight as well... My seat belt is similar to Keith's... It doesn't have the disconnect in the top, but had 2 metal brackets where his only has the one (those are what I removed & wrapped around added tube)... Here's the one I ordered... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087JK6GHV

I’ve made up a header tank for my XL. I just wanted to share.

Thank you, and I agree, it only makes sense.
That is a nice looking seat belt. Where did you decide to attach the shoulder harness? My thought, even though it's a bit low, is to weld a tab between two tubes at the cluster above station 4.

I would make the thickness the same as the thickness of the metal attachment points on the harness. My harness has 3/32" thick attach plates.

I'm trying to figure out how thick of metal I should be using for the seatbelt attach points. I have on hand some .064" sheet 4130 but gut feeling is that I should use thicker. This is really a question for an engineer. Any engineers here want to pipe in?

Today I managed to build the firewall and bend it w/o a pan-break. Used .016 321SS. It is a bit softer than I expected but that made bending the sides easier.

Perhaps but not yet.
I was laying awake last night trying to figure out how I was going to bend the firewall four sides with the brake. All I can figure is that the sides are very small and the top/bottom angles not 90deg. Kinda would like a pan brake option. Making such a mod would be more than I care for at the moment.

You'll wish you had that brake a long time ago.
