Cant seem to find where the mount holes are for the front seat belts. Its a 66 body on a 71 pan. I have the top hole on the pillar but cant find any threaded hole on the floor near the doors. ideas....

It should be at the bottom of the B pillar. Here is a photo of it in my 75 L Bug - should be very similar.

Just went and had another look. No holes any where in that area.

Side View - you may have to weld a solid plate into the tunnel with the screw hole for the sealt belt in it... get one cut out of an old body from near the rear tunnel & weld it into the front:cool:

Sweet. Thanks for that. I have some 50 x 5mm flat bar at work. I'll get that sorted.
