seatbelt attachment for late seats in early car
I have late seats in an 1973 911. The problem is that on the original seats the seatbelts mounted to the seat itself. On the later seat there is no such bracket on the outside. What would be the best/most secure way to attach the seatbelt to the chassis? A pic would be appreciated!

You will have to make wider adaptor plates to mount the seats. Weld a M12 nut to the bracket and secure the belts.

If you do a search for seat adapters and my name you will see numberous threads. Heres a shot of my adapter plate "ears":
 The receivers are the ones from my older seats.

Thanks,
The receivers mount directly to the new seats. trouble I am having is the other side of the lap belt part. Just attaching it to two little M6 bolts does not seem to be very substantial. (see also this thread Seat Belts - 72 Targa with 82 Sport Seats) I spent a lot a time already searching the archives, but have not come up with the definitive answer. I was thinking about either welding plates to the sills, or otherwise bolting them directly to the floor.

The end of my lap belt is installed in exactly the same manner with an "Ear" on the mounting plate. The ear has a nut welded to it to match the seat belt bolt. My plates bolt onto the rails for the stack seats.
