Seat Bely install
Hey can someone send me some pictures and maybe some instructions on how to install the rear seatbelts out of a camaro into my 75 vette... Also what would you guys suggest using for bolts?

Me too. This is the LAST thing I need to do to get my car ready for its inspection sticker.

Here are some pics of the different mounting points.
Tunnel-Use the old sheath for the new belt.
Under seat-Must rebend the Camaro mount to face up a bit
Rear-Just bolt tight after bending tang straight.
Bolts- 75 uses 1/2-13nc bolts. I bought them 1 1/2" long.
If you want the belts to be able to swivel, you must have a shank, like the original bolts. Easiest way is to thread a nut or two on the bolt and turn them down in a lathe to the proper diameter to create the shank. Ideal for the tunnel mount.

Thanks for the pictures. I was hoping to find some like this because I am getting to the point of installing the Camaro belts in my '73. A few questions:
Where can I find the bolt sizes? They're not listed in the assembly manual I have.
I assume I'll be reusing the bracket that guides the seat belt away from the floor mounting point out to the side by the door where it loops up and around the seat?
I'll be OK just looping the belt from the retractor over the top of the seat?
I have my carpet ordered so I'll actually be tackling this project in the near future.
Thanks...
