Allegedly, there are two right angle brackets that mount to the rear seat floor and anchor the bottoms of the plastic interior quarter trim panels.  My car has not had them for as long as I owned it, and I don't know if it ever had them being a 1974 with the giant seatbelt retractors in that general area.

Now that it's mini tubbed the I have to run 1970 style lap belts and brackets, so that part is a non issue.

Can anyone post up some pics of where these brackets go, ideally with some measurements?  I'm going to order a set of brackets shortly.  Thanks in advance!

I do this all the time...throw some masking tape on the floor, put the interior panel in place and mark with a marker where the hole in the panel is and line the bracket up with that :alan2cents:

Good call; that's exactly what I ended up doing.

How does this bracket mount to the floor? I put an AMD floor and I don't think there is a provision for the bracket.

It just installs with a single screw as in this pic-

make sure you have the seat installed when you do the trial fitting
