I thought I already had a thread on this but cannot find it. I am rebuilding a station wagon body to swap onto my hardtop (Thread LINK) and am at the point now of wanting to fit the second row seatbelt brackets for the lower mounting of the three point belt.
I currently have nothing so have bought 347844 from YRM and am following the below instructions form my parts manual for retrofitting seatbelts to the rear:
I am very happy with how to fit the bracket to the body, it bolts to the existing bolt through the floor, c-pillar, and front floor support. The top bolt then needs drilling to mount the top of it. Instruction 3.3 is drilling the hole for the seatbelt to mount to. This only mentions the lower hole needing drilling, which makes sense as there is only one part of the seatbelt that needs mounting. This would give the setup pictures below (pic form google) which I think is correct and what I want:
However the bracket also has an upper seatbelt fixing point seen here in the picture of the bracket, and seen here in a picture from gwyn lewis mud shield advert being used for something with a bolt in it:
Can anyone confirm what the upper mount if for, and if I need it for anything on my setup. I want to get the wheel are sound proofed and the brackets bolted in before fitting the tub to the vehicle and if needed will need to drill it out before soundproofing.
