62 Seat Belt Install

[Bob H.]

I am installing seat belts in a 62. I have the belts anchor and cinch plate. I embarrassed to ask but what is the proper way these attach? Thanks for any help.

Re: 62 Seat Belt Install

On page B10 & B11 of the AIM is a pretty good diagram. If you don't have one it is probably time to get one. A great source for lots of valuable information. In the mean time are you asking how to thread the belt itself or how to attach to the body?

Paragon Reproductions has an excellent diagram of the seatbelt mounting in thier catalog. Most Corvette suppliers also show some good information, Doc Rebulid, Corvette Central, etc.
Make sure you buy the proper mounting hardware.
A bolt through the floor for anchoring is worst then having no seat belt at all.

Here's a "hambone" diagram I made years ago when I restored my last '57.
