In my Tiger, assembled in the late summer of '66, there were mounts for lap
belts under the rugs, and for the shoulder belt on the wheel arch in the
rear. They are threaded to take the standard seat belt bolt, whatever that
is, because a couple sets I've obtained from other cars, including a
Mercedes, fit right in.
I'm on the short side, and didn't like the angle of the lap belt when using
the standard mounts, so I added a second set of mounts further forward,
just by drilling holes in the floor and using those giant washers intended
for seat belt mounting
If you are in the seat and have your belts on, the seat should be unable to
tip forward. The empty passenger seat is another issue...
