I think you'll find that a crotch strap - to be properly effective - should come up through a cut out in the front of the seat. That is why race seats are designed that way. I presume the reason for this is what can happen to your wedding tackle when the crotch strap comes over the seat front edge and then prevents you from submarining.

For what it's worth Colin, I think your "lap" strap is too low in your MG as they come over your thighs rather than your hips. It would be improved simply by lengthening the crotch strap slightly.
Ideally, the crotch strap should come up through the seat, but that can only work on a 5-point harness. I personally find a 6-point more comfortable.
