Features
- Reinforces the seat belt mounting point
- Distributes tensile forces over larger area of bodywork
- Prevents mounting bolt from tearing out under load
- Can be welded or bolted to floor panel or bodywork
- Essential for safe aftermarket belt installation
★ A reinforcement plate is essential for safe mounting of seat belts in vehicles that were not originally fitted with them. The plate ensures safe load distribution and significantly increases safety.
Application
For use in aftermarket seat belt installations. The anchor plate is placed beneath the bodywork at the position where the belt mounting will be, allowing tensile forces in an accident to be distributed over a larger area.
Installation notes
The plate is mounted to the underside of the bodywork, at the location of the belt mounting. Can be welded (preferably spot welded) or bolted using high-quality bolts (minimum grade 5). Ensure sufficient clearance beneath the floor for the plate. Check beforehand for obstructions such as fuel or brake lines.
Compatibility
Universally applicable for aftermarket seat belt installations. Not original for WWII vehicles — military jeeps, trucks and other vehicles from this period were not fitted with seat belts as standard.
Historical context
Seat belts were not standard in military vehicles during WWII. The installation of belts with reinforcement plates is a modern safety modification applied by many owners for use on public roads or at parades.
