3 Point Seat Belt / Buckle Side Mounting

[BGBronco]

The Bronco I purchased didn't have seat belts. Purchase a 3 point seat belt but it doesn't have a mounting bracket for the buckle side in the kit. Directions referenced / assumed there was an existing one. I've looked around but can't seem to figure out what I need. Help appreciated. Thank you.

I think Toms came with the L brackets.

I just bought mine from wild horses and they came w/ L brackets

The hot rod builders have been adding seat belts to old iron for a long time, here is one supplier:

I have also seen the L brackets on Amazon, can't remember if they had the under floor reinforcement plates.

You can always make some out of a piece scrap angle.

Is that just a steel spacer under each of your L brackets? Or something to reduce vibration?

They are just giant fender washers from my old seat belts. I cut the back washers down to not overhang the bed ribs. The brackets are powder coated now and don't really require washers.

I used this for the buckle side. Description says 14ga but it's much thicker than that. I think they're 3/16" thick.

Irritating. The TBP set (which I didn't buy unfortunately) had all the parts and the 'other one' I did buy didn't. Lesson learned.

If you do remember to put something on the underside of the floor to reinforce it and spread the load, a nut alone will pull through the sheet metal in an accident.

Weld in bungs for the upper mount:

I bought mine on e bay they are Humvee surplus. I had bungs welded into my roll bar when it was made

Like Major Tom above, I welded bungs for the shoulder strap and made a L bracket and bolted the seat belt base to the roll bars base.
