3 for each front bucket, 2 for each rear belt. Total of 10, right?

Stole this from a member here. Front driver/passenger shoulder belt locations. I can feel that they're in there somewhere, but I'll have to poke around with a pin to find exactly where before digging in. I'm reasonably sure these are in there and are in good shape. They show up in old resto photos of my shell.



Also stole this from another member here. 71 Challenger. The lower bolt hole is on the trans tunnel, which I found. The upper hole is on the rocker, but it's nowhere to be found. I assume the floor pans were bad and that part likely got cut out? On my old images of my shell, I can SEE the bolt hole on the trans tunnel from the underside of the car. Is it the same with the rocker holes? If so, mine are definitely gone. What do they look like? Does anyone remake proper ones?



This is my rear passenger seat area. The one on the left has an angled bracket with a bolt hole that goes in sideways. The one on the right goes straight into the floor. Are these the correct locations?



This is my rear driver seat area. Like the passenger side, the inner bolt goes straight into the floor. Circled in red is the corresponding outer bracket bolt which seems to be repaired/missing on this side. Is this where my bolt is supposed to go? If so, does anyone remanufacture this bracket so I can have it installed properly?


Looks like I'm missing both of the outer/front seat bolt locations and the rear/driver/outer bolt location?

Thanks in advance.

Okay, looks like I found my rear/driver/outside mount. This confirms that my suspicions of the mounts are correct at least.

Any idea where I can get proper mounts for the front/outer bolts? I checked AMD/Classic Industries/Year One/Roseville.

All I can find on the web are generic aftermarket mounts. I'd rather have the real deal if I can find them.  :clueless:

Are these the front/outer bolt brackets? They look identical to the front/inner trans hump ones. Should they be identical?



This is the underside of my car. I can spot the trans bracket being the same. If the outer brackets are also the same, it looks like they were hacked off when the floor pans were replaced and the bolt bracket was never put back. Correct? I just want to make sure I go out of my way for the right parts here.
