I think you could safely bet money that you could lift a full car on the seat belt mounts if welded sufficently well,1/2 in weld will allegedly hold a half a ton in weight and I folded my brackets to give more area and welded both sides.

The nut is there to secure the bolt in the hole and there should also be ferrules so the seat belt can move when the bolt is tight and dont forget it's through a 3mm steel plate,my humble opinion, its going nowhere if fabricated with care and attention.

If at first you dont succeed,avoid skydiving...

No parachute require to freefall,only if you want to do it twice.
