    I got some old stock '73 CJ5 seats and brackets today. Going to put them in this weekend and fix the hatchet job the PO did to mount his aftermarket seats. I know how they mount and figure it will be fairly easy. But, I still need to figure out seatbelts. I am going to try and get a pair of stock seat belts. Does anyone have PICs of the mounting of the stock belts and how they are routed? Thank you.

    Did you look at your floor? The threaded holes should still be there if it's the original tub.

    He sprayed on a bedliner and might have plugged the holes. I could not find any.

    Look for the nut on the front of the outside wheel well for the place where the bolt should go on the side. On the inner mounts, the driver side belt is centered in the tub and the passenger side is over about 3 inches.

    Cool, thanks. On the outside, did the belts route through a channel of some kind or are they loose?

    Look up under the rear wheelhouse, at the front panel, where the seat back would rest. You should see a square plate with a nut welded to it. That is where the outside belt mounts.

    As an aside, can you post a pic of the OEM 73 belts? I am looking to correct mine.

    Sorry, I don't have OEM belts. Just whatever the PO had in it. I just want to put them in the correct place for the seat location. Trying to be as safe as possible.
