I am getting ready to drill the seat belt mounting holes in my pre-60000
TR3A. I have the 1962 S-T Motor Company memorandum that provides the
diagrams on where to drill the holes.  What I want to be clear about is its
reference to: "... it should be pointed out that when using the templates,
you should place them vertically against the heel board of the rear seat
platform and thereby make the actual drilling and anchorages through the
heel board." Am I correct in that the term heal board is the same as floor?
The templates do not sit nicely as they describe since my inner wheel well
gets a bit in the way and same with the flair of the transmission tunnel. Is
it correct that the inside anchor point sits back from the outer point by a
good 8" rather than being somewhat parallel to each other (it would also sit
well under the rear seat)?  TIA
