Hi Don,

I've only owned one set of racing harnesses (Sparco) so I can only tell you what I had. The harnesses had long tails with a metal buckle that you wrap around something and then thread back through the buckle. The something you wrap it around can be a roll bar, roll cage, harness bar, etc. I think the waist straps came with clips already assembled. You install eyelets in your car - they can thread into existing seat belt mounting holes or into a specially made backing plate (I used the backing plates). The metal clip hooks into these. The SCCA and FIA required safety wires on the metal clip to prevent them from coming open in an impact. Your experience may vary.

The clips are like little hooks with a spring loaded gate - somewhat like a carabiner. I had to order the threaded eyelets separately for mine. The place that supplied your harness should sell these.
