Try fitting them how the Doc has his;

But I think you'll find with your seats they will not fit (I had this issue).
I did get my car fitted and engineer certified with the reels in the bins (a nut welded to a sufficiently sized plate that was welded to the sill inside the bin, passed no worries).
If your having trouble finding one of those brackets try contacting Kipper or some other seat belt manufacture, send them these pics and ask them for help.

I also work for willshire's and by the looks of that bracket they are out of another car .. ...

DO NOT go to a wrecker and buy a second hand belt it's dangerous and illigal..

you could mage a braket to make your reel away from the door ... but if you don't know what would be sutible or strong enough then leave it alone...

another option is look on the side of the reel and see if there's any part numbers if it's a factory belt and you can tell what it's from than you can order a new one ...

Take that belt you have and bin it. Looks very frayed, and not retracting. Both unsafe.

Go buy yourself 2x K1512's from Supercheap/Repco/whoever

Mount them to the sill, and change your seats left-to-right and vice-versa.

Make sure the retractor unit isn't fouling on the webbing at any point or you'll wera em out real quick.

Job done.

Unfortunately i can no longer help you guys and girls out with seatbelts - i don't work for Willshire anymore. willy is your man for sales, but i can still help with advice.

Cheers

Dude,

After seeing Crash Investigation, get those belts done the best you can!

Sorry, what do you mean change my seats left -to-right?

And yeah, colours are hideous on the interior, just another work in progress...

The latches on Clubby seats are on the outside and foul the reel when they are back, as I found on Barney.
If you swap them, so latches are on the inside, they might miss... :wink:

I had clubby tombstone seats and clubby inertia reel belts in my 68 Deluxe years ago and I don't recall any issues with fouling on the seat latches??? :?
