47-55.1 julianos seat belt install

[nvrdone]

has any one used the 3 point belt setup from Julianos for a bench seat?
Their instructions don't show where the end of the belt opposite the retractor mounts. Also, the mounting point on the retractor is plastic. seems like if we are involved in a crash, that point could break off and pull out.
Any thoughts? Thanks

I haven’t done it yet but check out Deve’s site. He has photo’s on his site of his install.http://devestechnet.com/Home/SeatBelts

thanks, but that doesn't help. his pictures are the same one on Julianos site & none of them show where to anchor the end of the belt.
also, doesn't address the plastic mounting of the reel.

miricalepieco: thanks for the info. looks like the end of the belt bolts to the retractor mount thru the seat riser. I"ll try that. I guess the mount on the plastic case should be ok. if it wasn't there would be many law suits against Julianos.

just talked with Julianos. they clarified where the end of the belt mounts. that's good. they also said that the plastic is just a cover and there is a metal bracket inside. I'll have to look again but Im doubtfull

ok, I looked at the retractor again and they are right, im wrong. there is a plastic overlay on the metal mounting point. now on to figure out how I can mount the upper pivot point.

I followed the link above, Deve details a lot of things really well.

ya I watched that vid & its good. just need to pull the headliner and figure out the top mount. im thinking using some fish line to get the mount in so I don't drop it.

Yea I dropped my first one lol. You can hold it just barely if your careful. String is a good back up.

Ha ha, I can relate! I was so scared of dropping my upper bolt between the cab double wall!
