Default Re: existing seat belt holes for 1966

Thanks for wisdom Ed.
Actually, I will eventually get new belts; hopefully 3 point. LMC is one of many companies that sell belts but they do not specialize so I thought I'd get some opinions first.
I am also hoping to find safe, clear instructions on fastening the belt to the B pillar, and, the retractor at the floor. Some jobs look pretty bad. I was at a car show Sunday and someone drilled out the B pillar and used about 8 washers to adjust the shoulder belt so it wouldn't hit the driver in the neck and collar bone. IMO, the sheet metal in the pillar will give way in a good accident and the washers would become like shrapnel.
Although I had factory threaded hole for the lap belts, I do not have existing holes in pillars. It they were already there, this would be a no brainer.
