[Healeys] bj8 seat belt installation

[George Haywood]

Scott,

Thanks for the article.  The bj8 already has those studs for seat belts from 
the factory.  My question is how to attach the belts to the bracket that I 
have and still be able to adjust the belt to fit different sized people.  I 
can't just stitch the belt around the bracket because that would make it non 
adjustable.

Thanks again,

George
