Hello FABO Members,

Need some input dealing with seat belts bolts. The metal is very thin where the bolts go
for the driver and passenger sides.

What has anyone done to fix this issue.

Thanks

The only place that has bolts is Larson’s.
Call them.
I am going through the same issue with mine.

Hello,
When I put the belt bolts in the floor pan, the metal is so thin. When I tighten it down, the metal buckles. I'm afraid to use the belts, because of the thin floor board. Has anyone used heavier metal just for the seat belt
bolts ? Bolts and nuts are okay.
 
Are you talking tunnel, or rocker?

There should be a heavy metal plate under the floor-pan on the tunnel side, and the rocker should have a threaded anchor built in. At the rocker side, there is a hole in the floor pan so the bolt can pass through and into the rocker. The flexing that you are seeing may just be the floor pan tin. The real strength is in the rocker anchor. Just my thoughts without pics.
