Seat Belt

[oldgasser]

Would any of the members know where I can find the layout drawings for seat belt floor anchors for my 1957 Ford Convertible?
Thank you for your time.

Hi, I've got them but they are very difficult in a convertible. The front inner brackets basically need to be fitted before you put the body on. Very difficult after. let me know if I can help.

I put three points in a coupe and put the floor anchor down between frame rail and the rocker. It was tight and I had to modify the anchor plate to fit up the the space but it worked.

I suspect the problem is the X member on a convert being where you would want the attachment??

Are you installing Ford factory brackets or aftermarket?

On the Ford brackets the tunnel is slightly differently shaped. That's the issue with the inner brackets. The outers were a problem as wel but I don't recall why offhand. I'll have to look. I installed both front and rear on the green car and accumulated enough parts and material for the Coral Sand car. After all the trouble on the green car I haven't decided on the Coral car yet.

One of my '57s has an aftermarket three point and the outer is very limited to where it will fit.  I located the inner by the location of the seat.  Since I moved the seat back, the inner location also moved back.  It is more import for proper location for functionality than OEM location.  I also used the correct beveled washers so they won't tear through the floor if they ever get tested.  Some of the anchors go through the floor supports.
