Stu, if you hit something hard enough to flip the passenger seat forward I
think you're going to have more to worry about than a seat ;-)

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...

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?
