The seat belts that you are talking about are a period of sorts after market seat belt.
If you haven't painted the car then the neater way of doing the conversion is to weld into the pillars a plate with a tapped thread in it to accommodate the top of the retractable belt. A non retractable will also suit. I will take a couple of photos of the ute, but I think that there
is some pics somewhere on here. You get the safety of a belt without the unsightly hole drilled through the pillar.
Cheers
JB

Well done, those blasters are ideal for that stuff hey. I wish I had one like my father in law does. That colour combo actually doesnt look too bad (and i am being serious), the putty colour against the car colour  |

Nice work Blok,what are you painting it in,Acrylic or two pack?I'm guessing Acrylic or you are you planning to bring the rest of the car back to bare metal .Looks like you could make it a little bit "wetter" to save you some work.Nice colour,keep up the great work!Jamie. |

isnt it good to add the clear when the last coat is slightly tacky, so many different opinions on this
