Planning for 3-point seatbelts

Did not want to drill a hole in the flore, and attach seatbelt brackets under, so I ordered some brackets from Unneberg Bil as (dealer for http://www.vwheritage.com/ in Norway)
to fasten inside the b-pillar.




Just removed the carpet on the left dorsill, and loosened the vinyl over the b-pillar to be able to access the lower part where the bugs after 68 have a hole for lower seatbelt fastener.






The plan is to drill a 18mm hole (x marks the spot), make it bigger by using a bit like this

Then predrill 2 holes in the brackets, diagonally from the center hole, thread them.
and then use a wire from the back through the hole så the bracket

To be continued...
