Seatbelt anchor points

I hope this makes what I am trying to describe clearer

right. gotcha. makes perfect sense. I did wonder like what Stot said, ie the threads might strip but 7/16 is fairly coarse so I do wonder whether that'd be an issue.

Sylvain, my dad tells me clip in belts are usually for things like rally car applications, where it is sometimes necessary to get into the back, e.g. to get the spare wheel out, but the belts get in the way, because they secure onto the roll cage or in the rear bulkhead somewhere... no idea if they are iva ok or not.

Arfon, I can see how your solution would work with clip in belts, still think it wouldn't look as good with the non clip type...

I see what people say and all of the points are quite valid, it's nice to throw something out there and use the knowledge that is on here, ah well back to the drawing board

The threads are 1mm or less deep and don't touch everywhere so in an accident if one thread lets go the rest will follow as force multiples
In an accident you can hit many G's and that equates to many tonnes of load.
