Horst fastened the shoulder belt to the floor behind the seat.  That's not the 
best location.  YOu want that belt as high as possible.  On the MGA it
was first fastened to the top of the vertical pannel just about the wheel 
wheel.  Later it was fastened to the metal tonneau under which the hood was
stored.  ON the B it's also attached to the metal tonneau.  MG knew what they 
were doing.

So, the better locations are the top of the TD wheel wheel, or even higher up 
if you still have the upholstery off to add re-inforcement.  IMO the
best location would be in the back corners between the side panels and the back 
of the car.  Make sure there is heavy metal reinforcement to fasten to
and you've not just screwing into the wood or the thin sheet metal of the body 
sub frame.

Regards,
Blake
