seat belt mount points

[n/a]

Can somebody help me identify the location for seat belt mount bolts (280SL 3-point kangols)? I have the inner mount (its on the shaft tunnel) and I have the outer UPPER mount (just below the deck lid closure) but just dont see the outer LOWER mount point!

Is it on the side frame rail or on the rear cross member (below package shelf)? Appreciate if anybody can give me a detailed description (better yet a picture) of this outer lower mount point.

I mounted mine just behind the front seats outer rail in the horizontal bottom plate. For this I used a 90 degree angle piece. In my car there was a cutt-out which allowed me to put it there. Let me know if you really need a picture.

OK I snapped a picture of my seat area and have labelled some possible mounting points:

A is the floorpan (not strong enough in my opinion)
B is the crossbeam, vertical surface
C is the crossbeam, top horizontal surface
D is the framerail, vertical surface

Any votes for the proper/original mount location on 1970 280SL?

The original Kangol bracket is circled, this part was un-attractively rusted so I cleaned it up and painted it black, it was originally chrome or maybe even cadmium.

Mine is attached to the "B" location in your picture; vertical cross beam.
