Chevy vans from the early to mid 70s with utility buckets have a mounting bracket (on the female belt) that is almost flat (15º to 30º bend) and is EASILY flattened in a vice and a little extra help from a hammer on an anvil. I'll re-sew these onto the truck male lapbelts that I have for shoulder belt male ends.
