I just bought a 59 Firedome Sportsman 2 door. It has no seat belts and I want to add them. Is there a preferred location? Are there any caveats I should be aware of?

Thanks

Norm

Besides my suggestion in the Facebook group of seeing whether you could utilize the existing seat studs going into the floor, I would also recommend that if you drill new holes you use strong washers to distribute the load. That floor material isn't really that thick and could easily bend, distort, or even rip if you really put them to the test with just bolts and nuts.
