My '71 GTX is missing the seat belt bolt reinforcing plate that normally resides under the passenger seat on the bottom of the floor board, by the drive shaft tunnel.

1. Where can I get one?

2. How are they attached to the car as there doesn't appear to be any weld? The only thing I can think of is that they were glued.

Thank you.

If you are talking about buckets, they were spot welded and not very good at that. Those plates are being reproduced now.

Ya, I am talking about buckets. I don't see the spot welds on the other plate.

Do you guys know what the plates are called so I can search for them?

Thanks again.

Actually I think they were plug welded

Originally they were spot welded in 4 spots, around the bolt hole. On most, the spot welds were pretty minimal. When you install the new ones, drill 4 holes in your floor pan and plug weld the new pieces in. Gene
