Richard,
I have a three point harness in my BJ8. I have the short section of
the lap belt connected to an eyebolt threaded into the side of the
transmission tunnel, i.e., the rearward metal section of the tunnel.
One end of the shoulder strap/lap belt is anchored to the floor by way
of a second eyebolt that is threaded vertically through the floor. I
wish there was a better way of doing this because when there is no
tension on the webbing the spring loaded clasp falls over and lays on
the floor and nearly always finds its way into a poor position
requiring messing around with it every time I get into the car. I
think the fix to this annouyance is to rig the webbing anchor so that
the belt is held vertical. Finally, the other end of the shoulder
strap/lap belt webbing is anchored by a special hardware item anchored
by two studs located near the top of the rear wheel arches. The
special hardware item can be found in British Car Specialists "Rare
and Hard to Find Parts Catalogue". I believe the seat belt anchoring
points in my car were installed in the factory. All three anchor
points have heavy additional metal plates welded in place to take the
load if necessary. The holes are also threaded to receive the
eyebolts. I have the eyebolts threaded into place and then locked
there by a nut on the underside of the mounting location.
