I'm planning to install mine tomorrow sometime.
They are M & R cam lock clip-in belts to bolt-in eyelets. Looking for pics or talk about mount locations. Thanks, Trek |

The eyebolt for the shoulder harness needs to be below your shoulder behind the seat. You need to double nut the eyebolt after is passes through the firewall. The eyebolts will screw into the stock location for the lap belts. Make damn sure you pay attention to the length of the bolt used to secure the original seat belt mechanism for the center tunnel. That length is critical. Get the length wrong on the new eyebolt and the car wont shift. You will have to install a nut on one of the eyebolts and cut/grind it to length then remove the nut to clean up the threads.

Page three of this rule book has some good guidelines.
The stock attachment points work fine for the lap belts. QUOTE The shoulder harness straps must be mounted such that the angle of the straps from the drivers shoulders to the anchor point must not be above horizontal nor at an angle greater than 40 degrees below horizontal. |

Make sure you use backingplates for the eyebolts for the shoulder belts that are big and beefy enuf...
No fun if you tear these out of the firewall (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) |
