Here's a photo of the 3-point belt I just received from LMC, Pops. The retractor and end of the belt next to it both bolt to the "L" bracket. The other leg of the "L" bolts to the floor. The anchor in the center (with the red washer) bolts to the B pillar. I like to mount them just above shoulder height to keep the belt from rubbing on my neck. The belt piece on the right (with the buckle) bolts to the floor toward the center of the bench seat of course. All the hardware shown comes with the belt kit. Installation is pretty straightforward and intuitive.
