415DZ Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Hey all, I hope this is in the right section. I just got my Wesco Performance 3 point retractable seatbelts and I'm trying to install them in my 1971 240z. I just want to see what those of you who have installed these have done. Did you weld, drill, fabricate? Where and how did you mount the top point with the retractor. Here's 2 pics of what it looks like with the side panel off and my idea is to take the circular plate that came with it and weld it to that already existing hole. What do you all think? Good idea, or bad? Will this be strong enough or am I better off just finding a good point to drill? Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
415DZ Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) Sorry, attaching the pictures turned them upside down for some reason. Hopefully you still get the idea. The hole is above the rear wheel well. Edited April 10, 2013 by 415DZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
415DZ Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 For anyone else interested in this, I found a threaded hole in the rear upper panel along the hatch. The bolts that came with the extra kit from Wesco fits directly in it. I think this may work and seems like the easiest and least intrusive way of doing this.
