Interesting idea, BUT.....  What happens if you have an accident?  Are
these plates strong enough?  Will they bend if you pull up on the ends
with several hundred pounds of force, as supplied by your decelerating
pelvis?  If they bend, then the belt loosens and resumes it's original
angle.  Not good.

I was thinking of new holes, with the seat belt ends either directly
bolted to the floor, or hooked to a pair of those racer grade seatbelt
eyebolts that are bolted to the floor.  I would probably add some metal
under the floor to strengthen things a bit.
