I think the "heel board" is the vertical section, between the floor, and  the 
rear "seat bottom". I could be wrong, but I'd wait for the general consensus  
before drilling. Tom

I am  getting ready to drill the seat belt mounting holes in my pre-60000
TR3A. I  have the 1962 S-T Motor Company memorandum that provides the
diagrams on  where to drill the holes.  What I want to be clear about is  its
reference to: "... it should be pointed out that when using the  templates,
you should place them vertically against the heel board of the  rear seat
platform and thereby make the actual drilling and anchorages  through the
heel board." Am I correct in that the term heal board is the  same as floor?
The templates do not sit nicely as they describe since my  inner wheel well
gets a bit in the way and same with the flair of the  transmission tunnel. Is
it correct that the inside anchor point sits back  from the outer point by a
good 8" rather than being somewhat parallel to  each other (it would also sit
well under the rear seat)?   TIA
