663 viewsThis has everything needed for anyone wanting to do this provided they have experience welding, cutting and tapping metal. I've tried to be exact but I would highly recommend that the brackets be made with the particular car present to allow for test fittings.

632 viewsHere's the lower outside mount and new bracket, mounted to the old stock location. This is shown for illustration purposes -- you need to mount the retractor first, then the bracket to the body.

586 viewsPer Lingren spent the week before and after the Invasion at my place. Unfortunately, I had to work during that time so I couldn't show our Norwegian Invasioner much of the area but I was able to have a couple of my friends take him out and show him around. Here he is raising the rear end of my baby in preparation for the Invasion.

582 viewsBoth of the brackets after fabrication.
seatbelt_012.jpg
582 viewsThis is the way you would actually do it; mount the retractor first THEN bolt the bracket and lower outside mount to the body. These two bolts should be tightened firmly but not by a gorilla i.e. don't over do it!
