Hi all,

I'm trying to sort out my 3 point type seat belts on the BJ7. My understanding
is the drive shaft tunnel has an eyelet anchor point (eyelet bolted to side of
tunnel). The short belt (with buckle) is attached to the eyelet with a hook
type clasp.

My question concerns the outboard attachment. Is that also supposed to be a
hook type clasp going to an eyelet? Or does the outboard belt just bolt
directly to the floor? My belts have just a simple single hole bracket for
this end. I could bolt this to the floor but then the belt routing isn't great
i.e. it would be better if the belt bracket was perpendicular to the floor.

The factory service bulletin A-437
<http://www.healey6.com/bulletins/Seat%20Belt-ASJ.pdf> shows some type of 90
degree bracket. But at the same time they don't show any eyelets and hook type
clasps being used.

They also show the bracket for the rear wheel arch (shoulder belt attachment)
having a two hole bracket. My belt has just one hole in the bracket.

Any guidance appreciated!

Cheers,
John
