Seat belt bolts

[skiver.]

I've had both seat belts off for a refurb and to fit some nice new guides. Both the lower bolts holding the belts to the chassis mounts were difficult to remove but came out complete and won't go back. One feels like it will cross-thread and the other just will not 'bite' into the captive nut.
I've removed the seats for better access and tried new bolts but I think the nuts are corroded and will need re-tapping. The problem is these nuts are just above floor level and I need to find a way to tap them.
As usual, any help appreciated.

All very useful info, thanks.

Is the fibreglass clear around the hole?

Mine has thick metal spacers within the fibreglass which guide the bolt through if that's what you mean.

Anyway, job done now. I used a good quality tap and small open- ended spanner; worked a treat.

Thanks all
