RetroBelt Tri Five - Installation Guidelines; Installing Anchor Points

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Installing Anchor Points
First determine if your installation is a retrot or if you are replacing
existing 2-point seatbelts. If your vehicle has existing 2-point
seatbelts, you need to determine if the anchor points are installed
correctly and are not worn or damaged in any way. If the anchor
points look good, you can reuse them; but you’ll still need to install a
third anchor point for the shoulder harness. If your car does not have
seatbelts already installed, you’ll need to create new anchor points.
Choose a Location for the Anchor Points
This section is for vehicles that are not already equipped with
anchor points. The retrotting steps in this section should only be
performed by a professional installer.
Place the seatbelts on the seats and move them into position to
check for placement (See Figure 1). Remove the seats if necessary
and check beneath the oor pan and behind the side panel for
room to drill.
NOTE: Most 1955-57 Chevrolets require drilling and mounting of anchor points as well
as the installation of anchor mounts beneath the oor and behind the side panels to
ensure a safe installation.
