    I’m installing seat belts for the front seats and wondering if someone could provide me with measurements for the location of the holes where the seat belts mount to the wheelhouse and the rear floor. I bought a reproduction tub and would like to mount the seat belts in the original locations.

    For which year?
    Seat belts didn't come in most of the early 5's or 6's.

    My 68 cj5 didn't have belts from the factory,belts from the Jeep dealer didn't mount to the wheel house,they bolted to the floor, to the rear of the seats with "the eyelets" that were on the floor from the factory. ymmv.

    Both my current 67 and previous early 68 have them mounted about 2/3 up the wheel well. I can send pics if you need.
