seatbelts on an early B

[Brian R Adams]

I think I might see nuts. I agree that dealer installed is most likely, but then would they have gotten on the COA?

Sorry, I misunderstood. Yes, definitely nuts over washers.

I'd sure like to understand the COA entry as well.

I have that corner version (formed plate with welded nut) on all my 356s. That is the stock location on 356Cs.
The Super 90 supplement to the B Workshop manual gives a dimensioned drawing for a shoulder belt anchor for a 3 point seat belt. It is just under the trim rail and quite far back on the side wall.

Helge Pretty much covered but here is a link about a 60 seatbelt installation: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=49624&p=348413&hili ... ng#p348413 And if you are going to install a shoulder harness so that it is not too low a mounting point, as mentioned by Harlan, then this link will be helpful: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=51658&p=376365#p376365

As being built in december 1959 - I looked under the car and we have also the "xx degree" flattened area (will add a picture). Will try first to understand the picture given by Brian (Diagram from Autobooks manual by Kenneth Ball) and than proceed.
thanks to all for the information and knowledge shared.

The bolts on mine peek out from under the bottom edge of the carpet, curling it back a bit. Probably not a proper installation of carpet, but no holes through it.
