★ Indispensable component when retrofitting modern seat belts, ensures safe and durable attachment to the body.
Installation notes
Mount the plate to the underside of the body floor, at the height of the desired belt mounting point. Use suitable bolts, washers and nuts. When mounting on original WWII vehicles: ensure that the floor panel is sufficiently solid and free from corrosion. Consult a specialist if the original body is damaged or weakened.
Compatibility
Universally usable for retrofit installations of modern seat belts on vehicles without original belt mounting points. Not original WWII - the MB/GPW only had simple safety straps with webbing, not modern three-point belts. For historically correct restoration: do not use. For safe daily use: strongly recommended.
Historical context
The original Willys MB and Ford GPW were fitted with simple safety straps of cotton webbing with metal buckles. Modern seat belts with their higher loading forces require reinforced mounting points to prevent tearing through the thin floor panel.
