seat belt anchor

[djpaulsimpson]

Hi, just fitted new carpets and managed to get the seatbelt tensioners in right & working, but ive been trying for the last half hour to fit the last anchor point (the one on the centre tunnel) and i cant get the bolt to start?? is there a nut the other side i dont know about or have i just got to percevere with trying to get it in...? any help would be gracefully recieved!,

93 Starmist green.

Thanks,
Paul.

The nut should be captive as its welded to the chassis, if its moving then you've got problems.

try putting a bit of a taper on the bolt end and a bit of a WD40. If that fails you might have to invest in the right tap to re-tap the chassis fixing point.

On my '92 Griff the seatbelt anchor is a nut held in place on the chassis by a bit of metal in the chape of an inverted V over the top of the nut, all welded together.
It's relatively easy to get to if you slide under the back of the car.

Many thanks people, got it now, tapered the end a bit and plenty wd40, nearly finished just got to put speakers in and tidy up, if your interested ive replaced the magnolia carpets which were threadbare pretty much, with champagne (a bit darker/browner) and it sits lovely against the magnolia trim , ill put some before and after pics up when its done,

Thanks
