Installing 3 point seat belts in my 1970 Mustang, and RetroBelt has left something to be desired in terms of instructions. So Im turning to the experts. I have the retractor installed, and the d link anchor behind the drivers shoulder near the roofline using the original seatbelt holes. I'm trying to figure out how to anchor the end of the belt as shown in the pic. There are no factory holes, so Im thinking I need to drill through the floorpan and use an anchor plate for extra support? Any placement / location recommendation? TIA.

I bought the three points from Wesco just like this thread 1965 Coupe 3 Point Seatbelt Install

I had to drill a hole in my floor at the rear door jam, fwd of the rear seat to mount mine. They came with very large washers in the hardware kit for extra support. Some have used 3/16 plate instead for added strength.

Mine came with a bracket that connected to the retractor.
I'm assuming you would want to drill a hole somewhere around here.
Maybe test fit it in a location and see how the belt feels / functions.

I found it funny when I called them and said I needed to ask a few questions about the installation of their product and the lady said they dont answer questions, that all parts are included for proper install. I said. "You dont offer tech support for your product?" She said, hold on a minute, and connected me with with someone in support, although I still had to come here for more detailed help. Now I know where Im not buying my retro radio....
