[FC] Seat belt installation - where to drill?

[Steven]

Hi Dave,

I applied the measurements and in the process identified what looks like 
dimples.  However the driver side dimple is closer to the seat, about 1.5" 
back.  Interestingly though, visually it looks just like this location 
http://rides.webshots.com/album/47500311dmuIHr
Since others have apparently used this spot I'm going to go with the dimple.

The passenger side dimple measures correctly but it's pretty far down the 
fender slope and looks tight to get a drill in there.  I think I may mount 
the belt a little closer up the fender if I can't get the drill in there. 
(I don't see why not).

Thanks again,
