Moving on I wanted to connect the Seat Belt Planet harness's to the factory floor location and the Ride-Tech Tiger Cage.

Step one pull the seats back and then locate the factory holes in the floor. ( Third or Fourth time now since the car has been home )

Thankfully I have a lift so poking a hole from the underside is fairly easy to do.



Since the car is on the lift I had to climb up a ladder to get back to the inside of the car so I could widen the hole in the carpet.



Time to clean up the threads as they have a little bit of bed liner in them. Of course when your spinning a tap you catch the padding and some or the wool carpet.



Quick trip to Sears hardware to get a flange bolt and two nuts.



Added a couple grade 8 washers from my hardware collection.





The next step was fun trying to locate the holes on the rocker side. Yep this side is going to be difficult s the carpet is glued down and I can barely squeeze my hand under the door bars on the tiger cage. So I gently peal back the carpet, stuff my hand down under the carpet and had to feel for a hole.

Found it!!

Now I have to poke a hole in the carpet and good news I only had to poke it 3 or 4 times.



Belt is in.



One final detail that not a sole will ever see unless the car is on a lift. I added a flange nut on the inside of the trans tunnel as I felt the bolt sticking out looked unfinished.
