Installing Lab-Shoulder Seatbelts from Andover

[Austin C10]

I'm having trouble installing some retracting lap shoulder seat belts from Andover (thru American Classic). They came with an L-bracket for the anchor on the retracting spool. The problem is that the anchor bolt, from the old seat belt, is right under the gas tank and I can't wedge the spool up under the cutout in the gas tank and still have the spool facing up. Any suggestions in getting the spool anchored?

Thanks!

Since it's aftermarket, you may have to drill a new hole to suit your location. That's what I do.

Since its going through the floor, do I need to put any putty in the hole that I make in order to waterproof?

The bolt will be the same diameter of the hole. Julianos sells a nice mounting plate that is very sturdy. Here:http://www.julianos.com/anchor_plate.html
After you install you can use undercoating to help seal it and keep from rusting.

The shoulder belts I installed the retractable spool goes by the door on the side of the seat. And the solid part with the buckle mounts behind the seat by gas tank.
