Parts Identification Help Needed

I took my '69 Corvette convertible apart several years ago. Now that I have the time and funds to proceed with the restoration, I have a set of parts that I have been unable to identify. I've been through the assembly manual and vendor parts catalogs with no success. I would appreciate it if a fellow member could identify the parts below and tell me where they are located on the car. I feel rather foolish having to ask this, Thanks, Joe

Hi, they are for the seatbelts. I believe there called seatbelt guide reinforcements. They are mounted to the body under the carpet. Take care. AJ

AJ Thanks so much! Now that you've identified them, I remember those. Joe

Good deal. You may want to paint them before installing. They are prone to rust. Good luck!

I checked the assembly manual and the guides shown have a different shape. I did some additional research and the style I have was used on mid to late '69s. I guess that's why I couldn't identify them. Thanks again for the help and advice on painting. Joe
