Re: Seat belt installation

I cut the slot large enough so that the end of the belt slides through from the front, then is bolted to the floor. I'm pondering whether I can get away with making that slot a little bigger so that I can slide the buckle through, then the seat frame could be removed without unbolting the belts first. Unbolting the belts means a helper and a jack, to get under the car to hold the nuts.

I made the slot with a 1/2" drill bit at the ends and then cut the rest with a die grinder. I didn't do my old rotten upholstery any favors when the drill caught the fabric, and the duct tape it there because I wanted to cover the fabric edges when I cut the rest so I wouldn't set fire to it.
