We compromised on lap belts which Filton mounted, with suitable reinforcement, on the transmission tunnel and on the rear inner wing, slightly below the rear seat squab.

I do want to add rear seat belts and lap belts will suffice for my purposes. The rear seat is out and the inboard mounts will have to go on the tunnel but do you know exactly where Bristol fitted the outer mounting points when they added lap belts? I know I will need to reinforce the mount points.

Thanks
