seatbelts in your burbs

Has anyone else installed seatbelts in the back seats of your burb? I have and have them attached to the bolts that hold the seat to the floor(they are all new, with locknuts). Only problem I'm having is as I tighten down the seat after re-installing it, the floor bracket is bending up. The other concern I have is if I'm in an accident, with they hold? Any thoughts or suggestions on this? I'm fairly new on this site, and welcome any and all ideas.
Thanks

Drill them a separate hole and use a 4" fender washer or a piece of flat stock if you don't feel comfortable with them the way you have them

Re: seatbelts in your burbs

Thanks guys. I bought some steel tubing a few years ago, as I was going to run some bolts through them and through the frame to make sure they held.

I added seat belts by adding seats.

Nice seats, LT1. What are they out of? I have my original big seat, but eventually when funds allow, want the small original seat.

Those are the 3rd seats out of a Yukon or Tahoe.

Re: seatbelts in your burbs

I have a like new set of 3rd row from an 05 Denali that I was going to use and a pair of buckets from a 2000 Caddy for the front. They also have the integrated belts.
