Moss has a set of aftermarket inertia reel belts that I fitted on my early 
TR6 which was originally equipped with fixed three point belts.  There is a 
guide loop that mounts in the weld nut where your current shoulder belt is 
attached.  You will have to drill a hole for the reel, however.  It mounts 
directly beneath the loop.  I used the same sized hardware (7/16 or 1/2 inch 
bolts) with a lock washer, a standard grade 8 flat washer, a larger flat 
washer and a LARGE fender washer, all to prevent pull-through should the event 
arise.

An alternate approach is to find some late model TR6 belts (inertia reel) 
and get them rewebbed.  Same approach other wise.
