If you read my posts here on this topic you will find that you should not do that. You can do it but the shoulder harness attachment points behind the passenger seat are not structural. They should only be attached to a cross member on the roll bar, so if you don't have a passenger side RB you shouldn't. There are two reasons:

1. Without a roll bar and shoulder harnesses the passenger's head is the roll bar. You'll not break your neck from the car on top of you if you do roll.

2. The attachment point of the trunk cross member is below shoulder height and thus results in compression. With our without a submarine belt you are likely to suffer more injury than without it.

Many people will counter this, as the probability of a rollover is much less than a side or rear/front collision, but note that when I asked Gary Patterson at Shelby his statement was they will NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES install them for you from the factory. You do so on your own and at your own risk.

This is a religious matter. I chose to leave mine but discouraged their use.
