Thanks to all who responded. =C2=A03 point belts are almost complete. =C2=
=A0The wheel well nuts never had anything in them, the car only had lap bel=
ts before, so re-tapping was required - rear wheel well sides done. =C2=A0I=
am going to get a few (4) small spacers for the behind the seat attachment=
points so it does not bunch up the carpet at this location. =C2=A0
The belts came with 2 spacers for the wheel well location in order to get t=
hrough the vinyl and padding with a small hole punched\cut at this location=
to ensure not messing up the vinyl. =C2=A0Looks pretty good.
Progress is slow but am getting all the little things completed while waiti=
ng for the chrome door finishers to come back in order to complete the door=
s as well as getting the top frame complete with center strap attached. =C2=
=A0We ended up with a 2 piece installation here. =C2=A0One from the middle =
bow to back bow and a long piece from the header to the rear bow. =C2=A0We =
are not attaching the header portion until the top is installed to ensure a=
taught fit. =C2=A0Seats should be back from upholster some time in the nex=
t 2 weeks and then interior would be complete.
Thanks again for the responses, it was a little nerve racking early this we=
ek, not thinking there was no frame belt mounting points. =C2=A0MGB inside =
captive nuts - Sunbeam outside interior compartment captive nuts - who knew=
- whew!
