Not Ranked
427sharpe, running a bracket from side to side in the trunk was my first plan. It turns out there's no where to securely attach it.
scratch, believe me, I realize the importance. Three weeks ago an oncoming SUV made a left turn in front of my son's car, the belt retractors failed, and his head bounced off the windshield. He's okay, which is more than can be said for his Accord (totalled) or the three day old 2002 Trail Blazer (also totalled) that hit him.
Homewrecker, thanks for the pictures. They inspired my final solution.
Campy, nice lookin' car! There's no solid surface near the bulkhead to mount the belts on my car.
427sharpe, already got 'em.
I ended up have 2 brackets fabbed from 1/4" angle
iron with a full length gusset. They're attached through the frame with 1/2" grade 8 bolts. The belt attachment (also 1/2" grade 8 bolt) comes up through the trunk. I'll post some pictures tomorrow.
Thanks for all your help guys.
