Hi Andrew,
Yes, it is easy. I believe the threaded holes in the floor accept 7/16"
bolts, 20 tpi.
How do I know? Last weekend I removed my rollbar to go to the
powdercoaters. But my retractable seatbelts are bolted to the rollbar! Then
my wife wanted to go along with me somewhere, so I bolted the mechanism to
the convenient holes in the floor. You don't have to jack the car up. Bolt
them from the passenger cab.
