the kirkey rear mounts are surprisingly dirt cheap. just google search for "1.5" roll bar clamp". you'll find lots of options for attaching the plate to your bar.

So I'm assuming you would bolt that Kirkey back brace onto the harness bar. Won't that interfere with the shoulder belts?
I'm also curious if the Kirkey mount would match the contour of an Ultrashield seat. I doesn't look like it would be that much different. I guess if I had to I could make something similar, but it would need to be made of steel instead of aluminum because I have limited skills/friends with skills.

Use a pair of these, not u-bolts.

Please don't do a seatback brace like this. You'll notice the seat is secured above the shoulder harness cut-out. What will happen is that the seat will fold at the cut-out. That may seriously injure the driver's neck. It will also cause the shoulder harnesses to loosen.
You want the seat braced around shoulder level in an area where the seat is full-strength.
Oh, and don't even get me started on how the shoulder harness has been secured in this picture.
