MG MGB Technical - Seat belt bolt hole

I have been putting my 79 MGB back together after striping for painting.

I installed sound deadening material and carpets. I DID cut around the top hole where the seatbelt mechanism mounts. I went to install the seat belts, mounted the mechanism and the latch. Then I realized I had no where to mount the other end of the seat belt. I must have covered it with the sound deadening material and the carpet.

Can anyone help me with the location to where the other end mounts?

Hi Bob. The bolt hole you are seeking is on the insise of the sill about 4 inches forward of the vertical panel behind the seat and 1 inch above the floor panel. it is almost exactly opposite the hole in the tunnel which carries the latch. Jim

Bob,now you have the approximate position,continue the search by pushing a needle through the carpet to find the exact spot.Regards Peter

You can see both ends of the mounting points from the other side. The top one- look behind the rear wheel and you will see a disk of metal about 3 inches across. The other one is in the transmission tunnel. You can then measure back from 2 points of reference common to both sided.

Thanks from your directions I found the holes. This saved me a lot of work. I was getting ready to tear out the carpet to locate them.

Thanks Again
Bob
