Re: [T3] Seat belt installation questions


DaveB=> I could drill through the vertical wall of the
=> pan in front of the rear seat for the outer attach point,
=> but is that strong enough?

It's not strong enough by itself. I used the reinforcement discs that came
with the generic old-school seat-belt kit I bought. These are steel, about
2" in diameter and maybe 1/8" thick. I had to grind off a bit of one edge to
fit them in the channel.

=> what about attachment to the center channel?

The stock early belts were diagonal shoulder-only. Pull up your carpet and
you'll find threaded holes in the tunnel, too. The thread pitch is
standardized.
