Thread: re- doing seats help..

I see you were lucky enough to be able to bolt that upper mount to the b pillar. My coupe doors are probably a bit shorter or maybe you don't have a recessed firewall because I'm looking at having to mount the belt further back than that. I am thinking about welding a plate under the quarter window next to the b pillar.

Hey Robert, that would probably work but it would be great if you can clamp it in different locations to make sure you get it in the most comfortable spot. It would probably need to be mounted at a similar height as many convertibles that don't have a B pillar and don't have harnesses build into the seats.

Al, I'll get those other measurements for you today. That 39" rear seat back sounds pretty tall! Depending on how the seat frame is constructed, it might be able to be shortened without too much trouble. More info later.

I'll have to use the seat belt loops on the seats which I didn't want to use, but it will help keep the belt where it needs to be in this case. I don't have a back seat so I won't have to worry about anyone trying to climb through the seat belt at least.

Just so I can't be accused of hijacking my best measurent on the rear GTO seat is about 33" from the bottom back side up to the headrest (headrest pushed all the way down) but its a bit tough to measure in the car. I drove the GTO to work today
