Shoulder belt issue on 68 Barracuda

Just throwing some thought out there. Maybe you could make your own out of flat stock? Figure a length, drill, tap, tack a strip on. Grind it in a football shape to ease the fit? Some work but?

Your the winner of the chicken dinner. I did something like you suggested. I cut two pieces of 1/4" plate, .750 wide x 1 1/2". Use a 25/64" drill bit and tapped the hole with a 7/16" x 20 UNF. I then cut the hole to the rear of the existing hole about 1/2" and a little wider than .0750, I slid the assembly in the larger hole, rotated it 90 degrees and drilled a 1/8" hole to rivet the threaded blank into position. I used a flat washer between the belt hardware and the threaded hole behind the headliner just to add some strength to the whole set up. Turned out good. Thanks for everyone's input on this issue' as usual you all came thru.
