hey guys,

ripped out the entire back seat of the car to make room for the rollbar. i was thinking of doing the rest (seats harness and rollbar) tomorrow. but i was wondering where exactly do you mount the inside lap belt? i was looking and it doesnt look like theres a hole or screw on that side that you could thread the eye bolt into. thanks for your help also the seat bracket has a metal piece that looks like it would be used for something like mounting a belt, but i figured it has to mount into the chasis some how like the other eyebolt does and lap bolt does.

if it helps im talking about the transmission tunnel side

You'll need to drill a hole and mount a bolt with a large backing plate.

When I had my cage installed recently, they welded in plates with threaded bungs for the lap belts. This positions the mounting points correctly and spreads the load. The plates are ~ 3" square.

i spoke with hms today, and their opinion was since the brackets i have for the seats(i believe they are sparco) has an actually spot for the harness. basically the same spot that the stock seat belt braket has to, they said i could mount it there since its made to withstand the load. any opinions on this. sorry i cant show pics, i have some but no way to upload them right now. thanks guys

i will tonite, im at home and forgot the cable to the camera at school. altho i already figured that its not possible to mount them there becasue of the nagle they would be at isnt the recomended angle by scroth. looks like im gonna have to drilll through the transmission tunnel

ok heres a link to the pics. i have alot of it figured out now, but i had to go back up to school so here i am. im going to go home tomorrow and do some more. hopefully get the rollbar in, and then belts maybe sat or sunday. i gave my dads good friend a call that worked with ford racing for a while is going to help me out.

I just test fit the roll bar so i still need to remove the black tar crap.

Nice pics. I've got an OMP bucket to mount too. Which make & model sliding rail & base mount did you use? On the closeup pic of the driver' seat base, what's the metal tab on the left lower for? How's the overall seat height vs. stock?

i have recaro sliders and a sparco seat mount i think.

no clue what the metal tabs are for, maybe if you were using a stock 3 pont belt you could mount the receptor there.

seat height is a little lower(depending on how high you had the stock ones to begin with)

Do you have another nut and washer on the other side of that? If not, your eye bolt is essentially hanging by those two dinky tack welds on that nut.

yea, i thought the support plate was suppose to be underneath the car
