Step # 1: Remove the existing seat belt and hardware including the long side of harness on the outboard side (towards the door) and the short side of the seatbelt on the inboard side.
Step # 2: Insert a new hex bolt (7/16" fine thread Grade 5 or better) through the (A) Retractor End of your new Wesco aftermarket seat belt and then screw the hex bolt into the existing anchor point (threaded hole) located on the outboard side of the vehicle near the floor as shown in Fig. 1 and tighten. You can use a new hex bolt purchased from Wesco and found in ourOptional Mounting Hardware Kit (part # 3pt-rmk) or the one used with the old seatbelt if the car has never been in an accident. (The shoulder bolt should be firmly tightened.)
Important If no anchor points exist, then special retrofitting procedures need to be taken to safely create anchor points.
Step # 3: Now insert the 7/16" fine thread hex Shoulder Bolt (Grade 5 or better) through the hole in the (B) Shoulder Sash End of your new seat belt and screw the bolt into the existing anchor point that is located just below the window just behind the seat as seen in Fig. 1 and then tighten. (The hex bolt should be firmly tightened.) Now the shoulder sash cover can be snapped over the shoulder bolt and sash guide. My vehicle does not have a shoulder bolt anchor point. How do I create One? Click Here!
Step # 4: Next insert the 7/16" fine thread hex Bolt (Grade 5 or better) through the hole in the(C) End of your new seat belt and screw the bolt into the existing anchor point that is located on the outboard side of the vehicle near the floor as shown in Fig. 1 and then tighten. (The hex bolt should be firmly tightened.)
Step # 5: This last step installs the short side of the safety seat belt at the inboard position (near the center of the vehicle). There are 2 types of ends:
1. Bench Seat End (20" floppy end) 2. Bucket Seat End (11" curved hard sleeve)
Bench Seat End Installation:
 Using the hex bolt from the old seat belt or a new one from Wesco, simply insert the hex bolt through the hole in the (D) End of the bench seat belt end as shown in Fig. 2 to the left, and then screw the hex bolt into the existing anchor point (threaded hole) and firmly tighten. You're done and ready to enjoy your new seatbelt!
Note: With the "Bench Seat End" installation, No additional hardware is required whether the anchor point is located on the vehicle floor or on the side of the drive shaft tunnel (the hump that runs down the center of the vehicle floor).
 Bucket Seat End Installation:
If the existing anchor point is located in the side of the drive shaft tunnel: Using the 7/16" fine thread hex bolt (Grade 5 or better) from the old seat belt or a new one from Wesco, simply insert the hex bolt through the hole in the (D) End of the bucket seat belt end as shown in Fig. 3 to the left. Then screw the hex bolt into the existing anchor point on the side of the drive shaft tunnel and tighten securely. The (D) End of the bucket seat end has a round plastic cover that can be replaced after tightening the bolt. You're done!

If the existing anchor point is located in the floor: Then anAngle Bracket Click Here is required as shown in Fig. 4 to the left. Attach the angle bracket to the floor of the vehicle using a grade 5 or better 7/16" fine thread hex bolt (as found in any of Wesco's hardware kits). The hex bolt should be firmly tightened. Now put the original 7/16" fine thread hex bolt (or a new one from Wesco) through the (D) End of the bucket seat end and then through the hole in the angle bracket. Attach a 7/16" fine thread Grade 5 lock nut (or lock washer and nut) and firmly tighten. The (D) End of the bucket seat end has a round plastic cover that can be replaced after tightening the bolt and nut.
