Had to work inside today, rain. The PO had smeared this rubbery coating wherever he could-this stuff is a pain. When the metal work was done, they ripped the e-brake and seat belts right out. Got the hunks of metal off them. They just put hoaky patch panels over the holes from the mounts. I need your opinions for the seat belt mounts; So I'm going to cut out the patch, (drill a hole) weld a nut to the back and weld it back in, or, make another patch (drill a hole) and weld the nut to the back, drill a hole for the nut in the existing patch and weld that panel onto the existing patch.

Finn,

Keep it up, get a grinder and wire wheels and get to work stripping it all down.

Here is a link to Rockets thread how he restored a car...

He was only a bit older than you, took his time and lots of nights, and all his spare cash....but he did this car with some help from me....

I would suggest getting the seatbelt mounting metal off an old car out of the classifieds and welding that it. that way the threads will match and you can use the original style hardware without worry.

The correct threads for seatbelt mounting is 7/16-20. (7/16-20 and M11 x 1.25 are virtually identical btw)
Just buy some nuts at the hardware store, weld them onto small plates with a 1/2" hole, and weld the plates onto the surface after cutting a hole big enough for the nut to go inside.
That's easier than other methods and just as effective, as long as the added thickness doesn't create interference with something else.

I have been searching for the specs since the were no nuts or bolt for the bottom attachment.

Thanks a lot Chris!

I have a black back pad for sale-$150 in the classifieds, and a 911 style rear reflector for a 914 on ebay- buy it now $200 but has a low reserve.

What about your parts car?
BTW, the shoulder harness bolts have the same threads, so do the tunnel belt mounts.
There's also a nylon "L" shaped washer so the belt ends swivel freely without being loose.

The bolts on the tunnel are frozen on the '74 but I may be able to snatch the top bolts and find matching nuts.
