Seat Belt Anchor Bolt

For aftermarket seat belt installation

Anchor bolt for mounting aftermarket seat belts. Suitable for use when modernising historic military vehicles with contemporary safety belts. The bolt is intended for use in combination with a backing plate to distribute the load over a larger area of the floor panel.

Application

Aftermarket seat belt

Type

Anchor bolt

Function

Seat belt mounting

Installation

With backing plate

Features

  • Anchor bolt for seat belt mounting
  • For use with backing plate (sold separately)
  • Suitable for floor or side mounting
  • Sufficient load capacity for safety applications
  • For use when modernising historic vehicles

★ When installing seat belts in historic vehicles, the use of a backing plate underneath the floor panel is essential. This distributes the load and prevents the bolt from pulling through the floor panel in the event of an accident.

Installation notes

Always fit with a backing plate on the underside of the floor panel or body. Never drill holes without reinforcement in the original floor panel. Use the correct thread size and torque according to the seat belt manufacturer's specifications. Consider professional installation for safety-critical components.

Compatibility

This is a universal aftermarket part, not an original WWII specification. WWII Willys MB and Ford GPW were not fitted with seat belts as standard. Suitable for modernisation of various military vehicles and post-war jeeps when adding seat belts.

Historical context

Seat belts were not standard equipment on WWII military vehicles. Many owners of historic jeeps today choose to install aftermarket seat belts to increase safety when using on public roads.
