body and interior Rear Seat Belt Bolt Locations

[ClayW]

Can someone post a picture of the rear seat belt mounting bolt locations on the side in an early 1600/2002? I could only find the two in the middle.

 

I have a sound-proofing coating on the interior of my car's body, so I'm afraid I painted over them.

Hope this helps.

This is odd. 

 

My 1967 1600 doesn't have the mounting holes on the sides. I have the two in the middle, but nothing on the sides. Does anyone know if the early 1600s had only a single middle tear belt, or maybe no belts at all?

Clay,

 

My '67 1600-2 (U.S.-spec) had what appeared to be original (well, German-made) rear seat belts, but I can't recall the attachment points, as I sold the car 42 years ago!  Mine was a 6-volt car -- so pre-September-ish 1967 -- but I cannot find the VIN anywhere in my files.  Stated differently, it could have been a July 1967 car and that might be different from a February 1967 car.

 

I would put the question to Anders (02Anders) and get his thoughts on seat belts in early 1600-2's.  And Jim's photos above are presumably of his Nevada '69.  Could the outboard mounting points have shifted before '69?

 

Regards,

 

Steve

It is weird that you have the center anchors but not the sides. However, it is not difficult to fabricate some.

There is also a bolt hole (maybe not on your year) above the side window latch for a shoulder belt hanger for the back seat if you were installing shoulder belts.

I'm pretty sure a '67 won't have those C-pillar anchors--my early '71 doesn't. I do have mounting points in the package shelf, which I used to install rear belts from Bluedevils without that pivot point. They work well for me.

The "Blue" parts book shows a rear mounted seat belt which appears (as David said) to be mounted to the rear parcel shelf.

didnt think about the year, mines a 74 and had lap belts.

My 69 has the bolt hole under the rear windscreen on the parcel shelf that's in Les's post. 

Ha! It's one of the few original parts of my car!

i also have the middle and outer belt attachment spots.

Les, that picture looks like it was intended to be a non-retracting shoulder belt with no lap belt! That sounds like so many kinds of bad...

There are seat belt retractor kits that use a top mount anchor point with a bottom mount retractor that would mount to the bolt hole under the seat cushion. That seems like it'd work best for that application. Also, I hear that some E30 have parcel shelf mounted retractors that could be used.

My 11/68 2002 had the outside holes where Jim's picture shows them, the trim might be covering them up.

As we are talking about seat belts, Does anyone know where the anchor points are on the touring?
