class=593474212-17092015> My Mk 1A has nuts
welded underneath to the floor pan for the seat belts. The nuts
have a short shoulder machined into them so they stick up near flush
to the inside floor pan.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=593474212-17092015>I
believe those seat belt bolt positions were standard. There is also a
position for a shoulder harness belt on the rear wheel wells - mine were welded
over.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=593474212-17092015>I see
few choices if you welded up these positions. You can drill new holes and
weld nuts to the floor pan then touch up the paint.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr id=yui_3_16_0_1_1442492271710_4472>I must confess, when doing
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=yui_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=yui_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>
