[QUOTE="nobbly, post: 575832, member: 22300"] Just one word of warning - ignore if you like, plenty have - please don't use a rivnut. IMHO a rivnut in there would just tear through the panel in an arc if you ever had an accident. Lord knows where your loved ones would end up. I've fitted these brackets to my panel van conversion and spent ages making mounts at least as strong as factory ones. I've trawled through various forums looking for ideas, some of the seatbelt mounts I've seen are truly shocking. The brackets are very good, don't bolt them to teabag thin steel and expect them to work. They'll pass an MoT, but won't pass muster. These are my lower mounts...
