Mike,
You are most likely going to end up taking out your floor boards to
get to a solid area. I ended up mounting the outer belt to the body
mounting bolt to the outer rear side of each seat which worked out
very nicely, I had to put a slightly longer bolt in.
On the tunnel side I had to do some strangness. If you look at my
pictures you will see I drilled into the site of the solid tunnel ears
on the back cross beam. With the floor boards out I threaded the seat
belt up from the bottom of the car around the floor boards as I
installed them and it worked out fine. You will see what I am talking
about in pic IMG00136.

Drop me a note if you need any better pictures. This was done on a 1955 TF
1500.
