metal and body work, I did not think ahead regarding seat belt mounting
locations. I know with 1968 and newer cars you are required to wear a
seat belt but I am sure I want them on any car I drive.</div>

<div dir="ltr" id="yiv7389623530yui_3_16_0_1_1442492271710_4474">So, what do people do
regarding adding seat belts 'after' welding is out of the question with new
paint completed and carpet installed? My MGB has welded in captive nuts
for belts and shoulder strap mounting points and I guess I was thinking the
Tiger MK 1A had them as well - bad mistake. Options now?</div>

<div dir="ltr" id="yiv7389623530yui_3_16_0_1_1442492271710_4512">My other concern is with the
seat slider where the seats 'raise/tip' forward with no way to hold back of
seat frame from tipping forward in case of front end accident. How have
folks addressed this issue or is it a none issue?</div>
