Theres nothing to brace as the rear end has no struts only turrets for the dampers

Realy just want something to attach my 4point harnesses to.  Any ideas (apart from welding threaded plates to the floorpan)?

A strut brace isn\'t really strong enough to do that unless it was designed with that purpose in mind. You really want a harness bar. Either get a rear cage with one fitted. I\'m sure anyone who can fit a roll cage could weld a bar in for you. Just make sure they do a REALLY good job of it. I\'ve seen some right gash jobs done by so called professionals !
