My set up on the left side with rough measurements to help you dial in the location.

Jurgen, can you post pics of the area on your car? Remotely possible there was damage in that area previously restored but the attachments not replaced. Later tonight or tomorrow I'll remove one of my retractors so you can get a better idea of where they should be located.

Thanks, Mike. I'll go out later and get a photo of the area. There is no chance of previous restoration since I have owned the car since new. Never wrecked or restored except now. BTW, it is a German car, bought in Hamburg in early '64, maybe they didn't put the attachment points in those cars? Jürgen

[Mike Wilson]

Keep us posted, Jurgen.

Mike and Martin,
Thanks for your help. I was looking in all the wrong places, i.e. directly under the wind wing, not close to the floor. Attached are the photos, if I can figure out how to attach. The points take M8 bolts

[Mike Wilson]

That should be the attachment points. Check with 8mm bolt.

popped in and had a chat with Paul of PRS last week and have arranged for them to fit non-retractable seat belts. They have all the correct strengthening plates in stock etc.
