If you examine the underside of the car where the reinforcement braces are under the front seat you may see holes stamped onto the structural cross braces which have no corresponding holes in the floorboard sheet metal. If these are in suitable locations for proper angle of the frt berts you may want to utilize these- always with proper washers and grade 8 hardware. In the rear there is nothing but sheet metal and you will neet to utilize backing plates , fender washers to support the anchor belts. The belts need to pull back and down. Do a web search as the angles of lap belts and lap/ shoulder are well illustrated. Is yours a 55? Is it a power frt seat car?
Certainly lap belts are better than none at all but getting as close as poss to proper angle and alignment is best.
