Think a lot of belts are different--but my belts(BMC) have 2-piece hooks which
swivel together to fasten to a eyelet; the shoulder belt has one hole. I
fastened the shoulder belts to the closest chrome nut stud on the side
swab?(been that way for years). The 'floor' connections are hooked to forged
eyelet studs probably screwed in the hole in the rear tunnel and
probably(don't remember) thru a hole between the inner sill and seat
back{about 3-4" behind hinge point; be sure and use a big washer under this.
If your floor connections on the belts just have a hole you should probably
make thick brackets for straight pulls.

[Healeys] seat belt attachment question
Hi all,
I'm trying to sort out my 3
point type seat belts on the BJ7. My understanding is the drive shaft tunnel
has an eyelet anchor point (eyelet bolted to side of tunnel). The short belt
(with buckle) is attached to the eyelet with a hook type clasp.
My question
concerns the outboard attachment. Is that also supposed to be a hook type
clasp going to an eyelet? Or does the outboard belt just bolt directly to the
floor? My belts have just a simple single hole bracket for this end. I could
bolt this to the floor but then the belt routing isn't great i.e. it would be
better if the belt bracket was perpendicular to the floor.
The factory
service bulletin A-437 <http://www.healey6.com/bulletins/Seat%20Belt-ASJ.pdf>
shows some type of 90 degree bracket. But at the same time they don't show any
eyelets and hook type clasps being used.
They also show the bracket for the
rear wheel arch (shoulder belt attachment) having a two hole bracket. My belt
has just one hole in the bracket.
Any guidance appreciated!
Cheers,
John
