Title: Pillar bolt location for seatbelts Post by: roachy on January 07, 2015, 11:15:18 AM Hi everyone thanks for any feedback
My FC has two pillar bolt holes on each pillar which I thought was a mistake when retro fitting seatbelts until reading another member describe the same & seeing footage of a early Holden showing two pillar bolts on each pillar , can anyone enlighten me of reasoning, has anyone else come across this, is this just a mistake? I do plan on re-instating seatbelts using the upper location for piece of mind when wife & grandson traveling.

They were smaller in diameter than the single bolt type though so are quite obvious. Generally I would say it's a mistake.
If you're welding up pillar bolt holes why not weld them all up and insert a captive nut?

Thanks everyone. |
