Ev - I struggled with the same issue and I think i did exhaustive research on the issue. What I found was that Porsche mounted a three point belt system exactly as you contemplate (but not retractable). I have a manual someplace I can share if you email me during the week. I'm still assembling my interior, so I haven't executed yet, so I don't have any pics to share.

I also came away with the conclusion that the B piller in a SWB will NOT take any kind take the load required in a crash. You would basically have no protection at all.

The other alternatives are a roll bar or a harness bar, though I don't think a roll bar is a wise idea in a street car, but that's a whole nother can of worms. I couldn't locate a SWB harness bar, but it couldn't be that hard to make.
