[T3] Notchback rear seatbelts...again

[Dan Zink]

Okay.

Finally got back in the barn today.

I have my "generic" set of rear seat blets I got from ISP West.

I have three pictures to look at.

First pic: http://pws.cablespeed.com/~danielzink/notchback/rrsb1.jpg

Shows what I ***think*** are the two attachment points (as referenced by
previous conversations).

Problem is....that if the attachment point that had the gray "plug" in it -
truly is an attachment point...the steel seatbelt plate will not fit down
in there...

Don't know...maybe I have to bend the attachment point into an "L" shape ?

This pic: http://pws.cablespeed.com/~danielzink/notchback/rrsb2.jpg

shows the attachment plates...what you can't see - is that the plate with
the arrow does have a slight bend to it..

It just doesn't make sense to use those points...it would seem that there
would be a potential for the nylon the chafe at the edges of the hole.

Now...there are "smaller" holes directly in front of the large ones - I
could definitely see using those and putting a nut and bolt
through....there's more than enough room in the larger hole for someone to
hold on to a nut while feeding a bolt through from the top. Problems
is...that's just pretty thin sheet metal...

I'm like 99% sure this car had rear seat belts when I got it....problem
is....19 years was a loooong time ago...

If it originally came with shoulder belts:

Then there should still be the second mounting point somewhere down low
near the outside of the car....

Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can come up with.
