Roll bar install

I found a UUC roll bar at a great price, so I pulled the trigger. It has attachment points for the front and rear seat belt points.

I have searched extensively for other threads on installing this and found a lot of great tips, but noone has answered a couple questions I have.

First, when you remove the seatbelt, there is a spacer in there, I assume you reuse this in all four locations? Where do you attach the harness and oem seatbelt if you are bolting it to the car, do they stack next to each other near the bolt head? It looks like it would fit better with the oem between the spacer and the bar, and the harness at the bolt head...

How does the oem seatbelt get routed through gt3 seats? Through the top hole only? Through the top and side? Neither? Is this a preference thing or a safety thing?

Also, alot of people refer to trimming material inside the car to get the bar to fit. I have the bar in place, and it is really tight and will be difficult to get bolted in, I'm not sure what should be trimmed, and alot of the old threads, the pictures were taken down. I'd appreciate any insight anyone has to share.

Thanks!

Justin,

Like the seat in the foreground of this picture, the other looks like it might be twisted:
