separate thread here: LINK but copied onto this thread as well to keep everything together

I thought I already had a thread on this but cannot find it.

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.
Many thanks to @bluedog333. I have now fitted and soundproofed mine along with the seat brackets. Now need to order the seatbelt mounting bolts and see if I can find the seatbelt I thought I had.

UA productive day. Bit there’s no going back now. I just hope this was a good idea!

The moving it on a sankey was Definitly a little top heavy. That might not have been the best idea but it did the job and wasn’t going very far.

Correct mid crossmember fitted after everyone pointing out that the one on the station wagon donor was a dog home job. Along with the front brackets.

Rear body is on. And doors loosely fitted to make is “waterproof” as it is supposed to rain tonight. The body is just resting in place currently as is the roof as had help with heavy lifting this evening. Tomorrow is the bolting things in place. But already have an issue that the rear crossmember brackets do not all line up with the body holes. Have 5 of the 10 line up.
