There should be one there, have you pulled the seat out and had a good look ? I would be very suprised if it isn't there, check under the sound proofing.

If it has a 'factory' shoulder mount location/bolt hole (required by law from 1964 in Aus, I think) there should be one under the trim at the base of the B pillar, Otherwise, you will need to drill a hole and get some reinforcing plates made up. I think they are required to be 50x90mm and 3mm thick with radiussed corners.... don;t quote me on that! A child restraint fitting station should be able to help

Dont the back side go where the seat pivots?

Cant believe there isnt one there.
It is in the base of the B pillar not on the floor. Has it been covered ny the head lining??

Contact Mick Motors he has the brackets.

Wadd, not on the floor , on the "B" pillar near where the rail that holds the rear seat base mounts on each side.

ok thanks for sticking with me .there is a rear seat swivle mount hole . but there is nothing else ,there is no inside padding left so the view is unobstructed. looks like i may have to make some for the front
