Hi Steve,

  Not sure the model harness  you have.  I use a similar  "  Re Bar " positioning lanyard  on my  Seat D Rings,

 and use  either an Adjustable Lanyard or fixed length  on the waist D rings.

I like rope type lanyard's   as compared to the HARD wide   adjustable belt type....

The length available  for fixed is determined by the sixe of the tower your working on.

YMMV

In fact the one I actually use is $42 on that page - part# 34406.

You'll love it. Note: it's for work positioning only - you still need a
separate fall arrest lanyard or system of some sort.
