My Mk 1A has nuts welded underneath to the floor pan for the seat =
belts.
The nuts have a short shoulder machined into them so they stick up near
flush to the inside floor pan.

I believe those seat belt bolt positions were standard. There is also a
position for a shoulder harness belt on the rear wheel wells - mine were
welded over.
=20
I see few choices if you welded up these positions. You can drill new =
holes
and weld nuts to the floor pan then touch up the paint.
Bolt in hardware kit - bolt, large washer, nut - no paint touch up
Eyebolt hardware kit - eyebolt, large washer, nut - no paint touch up - =
hook
and latch style seat belts required.

If your buckled into the seat it is not going to tip.
If your concern is with the empty seat tipping - fasten that seat belt =
to
limit its movement.

Subject: [Tigers] Seat Belts and Seat Slider
I must confess, when doing metal and body work, I did not think ahead
regarding seat belt mounting locations. I know with 1968 and newer cars =
you
are required to wear a seat belt but I am sure I want them on any car I
drive.
So, what do people do regarding adding seat belts 'after' welding is out =
of
the question with new paint completed and carpet installed? My MGB has
welded in captive nuts for belts and shoulder strap mounting points and =
I
guess I was thinking the Tiger MK 1A had them as well - bad mistake.
Options now?
My other concern is with the seat slider where the seats 'raise/tip' =
forward
with no way to hold back of seat frame from tipping forward in case of =
front
end accident. How have folks addressed this issue or is it a none =
issue?
Regards
Joel Martin
