well
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

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