PS: The car did have a center belt and the driver side bolt interfered with the shifter rod. Was nearly impossible to adjust.
@TargaToy - The center belt mounting point is the threaded hole on the floor(!) pan right under the where you circled in your picture.
- The drivers side seat belt mount is the one that is on the side of the center tunnel and it has a special short bolt that prevents it from protruding inside the tunnel. Most likely, you used a bolt for the passenger side in there, which is too long and does get in the way of the shift rod.
Thanks, SirAndy.
Yes and yes. I believe that when the center belt was added by my father in the early 70's, he stacked the aftermarket center belt with the driver and passenger receivers and used longer bolts. When we bought the car back some 30 years after he sold it, the belts had been changed and I believe the center belt was now gone. But the longer bolts had been reinstalled with only the driver/passenger receivers--leaving the driver's side bolt long and hitting the shift rod.
