OK Charles and Twilight,

I think I understand.
1)  My oval holes need rubber plugs.
2) I need to drill the triangular brace and spot weld the threaded seatbelt mount plate on the back of it.
3) I ASSUME that correctly adding rear seatbelts to one that didn't have them isn't a prob. in concours??

Oh...the red oxide rattle can primer you see in the pictures was just done a few weeks before I bought the car back from Ronnie, whom I sold it to 30 years ago.  (He had no idea I was gonna pop up from hundreds of miles away, wanting my old car back)  He had taken the interior out, cleaned the cracked seam sealer off all floorpan joints, recaulked, and primed the floor with Rustoleum.  I don't know why he got crazy and got up on the sides.  I can tell he did a good job with his joint treatments.  I'm gonna leave it like this until I do my concours restoration in a couple of years.  We're gonna drive the snot out of it like it is until then.   While I'm putting back all that Ronny took apart though, I want to do what I DO, correctly so I'm not causing myself work in 2 years.

found a 66 at the salvage yard this morning, bolts are there but would need replating. I can try to get them for you if you want them.

Are they CAD or Chrome or Zinc.

Are the belts suitable to send to Python for refurb?  If so, I'll take the rears.

Thanks Very Much!!!

It will be next Saturday before I can get back to the yard. The bolts looked to be zinc at one time. I didn't get a look at the actual belt part, just the bolts. Not sure what my friend would want for the belts, I will get back to you on this.

Twilight,
Thanks for the pics.  Looks like your wheelhouse holes are round with 1 plug.  Mine are Oval and had 2 round plugs crammed in each of them.  The 4 plugs in my two slots were identical to your round plug.  I'm thinking these 4 plugs were put there at the factory when the car was built.  I've got to clean the rubber plugs up and look for the P/N or Fomoco.
I'm going to attach my outboard belts just like yours.  I can't see the back side.  Are the threaded attachment points of the typical dished steel rectangle with 2 tabs? or...  Are they flat?

Bryan, I have the bolts, they look good. Came out of a 66 coupe, the belt buckles were worthless, could not be restored. I think these bolts are zinc. I am sending a shipment to be replated in the next few days. I can replate them for you if interested. thanks
