The above approach won't work due to insufficient space to drill new holes on the bottom of the anchor.

What will work however, is milling a slot into the base of the vertical section of the bracket. You can then mount the anchor on top, by sliding it in from the outside. Instead of sandwiching the anchor between the bracket and the slider, this method will sandwich the bracket between the anchor and the slider.

The anchor has two M8 holes. Unfortunately, the bracket and slider do not have matching holes or spacing between the holes. There is an M8 hole and an M6 hole. The M6 hole can be drilled out to 8mm, but the spacing needs to be offset, to match the M8 hole spacing on the anchor. This method will allow you to mount the anchor with two M8 fasteners.

I believe I've found a solution for an inboard seatbelt receptacle. I've ordered the parts and will report back after the first test fit.











Elegant solution!
