INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Retrot Installation Overview
If your vehicle originally was not equipped with seatbelts or only
came with lap belts, you will need to create anchor points. This
information is only to be used as a guide, and retrotting should only
be performed by qualied professionals to ensure a safe installation.
First you’ll need to determine if your installation is a complete retrot
(no original seatbelts installed) or if you will be replacing existing lap
belts and reusing some of the existing anchor points. Always use
existing anchor points wherever you can. If you need to create new
anchor points, make sure you check behind the area you will be
drilling for clearance for the bolt and anchor mount.
NOTE: When drilling, be careful not to accidentally drill into the fuel
lines, exhaust system, gas tank, brake lines, etc.
Retrot Installation Guidelines
1. Place the belts into position without installing any hardware to
check for placement. See Figure 2 for recommended angles
and placement.
2. Once you have chosen your anchor-point locations, double-
check that they are solid and that you have access behind
them. Then, line up the retractor and shoulder guides to
the desired position for placement. Make sure that nothing
interferes with the seatbelt webbing. The retractor must have
unobstructed operation to ensure safety and proper function.
3. Make templates out of cardboard to help you line up the
location for the retractor and shoulder guide anchor points.
Weld the shoulder anchor mount in place directly to the frame
or B pillar for proper tment. Then drill your mounting hole. Use a
center punch to start the hole, then progress to a small drill bit to
begin drilling the hole. Then, use a larger bit to make a hold for
the hex bolt to t through. For the oor mounts, always use place
the anchor mount beneath the oorpan.
