Technical Seat Belt Mounting Plate

[Giacosa]

Hey peeps. Does anybody have a good condition rear wheelarch seat belt mounting plate? Mine is a little past it.

cut it out as a square and weld in some thin plate for the skin then weld in the thicker plate to the inside of the wheel arch.

them things are only spot welded on! if you seam weld it, it would be much stronger that it was originally

edit.. actually forget that.. i did not realise that it had holes through it! i thought it was shiny metal!

hmm you could make a new plate up by welding a nut to a thick-ish bit of plate with a hole drilled through it..

Yeah the original is a paper doily

I could make my own but for safety critical component id rather not trust my cheap chinese welder to attach the the captive nut to thin metal.

There are a few for sale on ebay for Mustangs & T2 maybe i'll go down that route
