69 seat belts

[Jim M.]

I'm to the point of installing my new carpet kit and thank god I finally have the rear compartment done and moving on to the floor area but I'm a little confused on just how the lap belt exits the carpet. That's assuming the lap belt runs under the carpet and through that metal plate. Or does the lap belt run on top of the carpet and that metal plate is also on top of the carpet. Or, under carpet and through a long thin grommet? Any pic's or help would be appricaited. Thanks. jim

Having done this a while ago on my 69; I believe that the lap belt runs under the carpet and through the metal plate. You can get an idea of the location of the plastic thin grommet from the AIM. Mark

Re: 69 seat belts

thanks Mark, did you do anything to attach the grommet to the carpet other then cutting a slit in the carpet and sliding it in place?

I slit the carpet; and I put some carpet glue on the grommet to help hold it in place. Mark
