Seat belt mounting point

I need to fix a rear seat belt mounting point. I think I need to completely replace the plate, since the old one no longer holds the bolt, through rust. Does anyone know where you can purchase a ready-made plate, like perhaps a universal one, to fix this?




I found this on the internet, but I don't know if a Triumph TR6 has metric (M10) or imperial fittings!

Paul - can't you just weld a nut on the back of some sheet steel that you've drilled a hole in and then use that to plate the rusty area ?
Good luck with it,
Mark

Take some measurments chop it out and use the old nut welded to the new panel made from sheet . Thats what i did works well . Remove all that trim etc before you get stuck in  

You will find worse rot when you take off all that trim especially under the stuck black trim by the back seat . Remember to remove the petrol pipes and breather behind the panel befroe you start ! Crazyquiff might have a better panel from a scrapper ? Worth a PM ?    

Good luck with it  Paul……..

I'm sure all Triumph cars used imperial fittings.

Rust looks exactly like mine did before I started cutting out. I'm sure you know already, but as chudd says get all that trim off you're bound to find the rot goes a bit further - I did.

I'm making my own plate up as we spek. I have welded two plates (80mmx80mm) of metal together which I will then drill a hole through to allow the seatbelt mount bolt through and into the nut I will weld onto the plate.

Chudd- did you take any pics of your one? How did you attach it. I intend to drill some holes round the edges of the plate and spot weld it into place.

Cheers

I intend to drill some holes round the edges of the plate and spot weld it into place.

Exactly what i did , take measurements chop out old metal , weld nut on to 4mm plate to fit behind new repair . Repair old rust bit then drill 6 large holes in it and mount the 4mm repair behind and button weld it to your new panel . You now have a new seat belt mounting plate behind the newly repaired old one , hope that makes sence ? Remember to drill a hole for the top of the seat belt reel locating pin ! Harder to explain than actually do . Worst bit i found was the rust in that round bit located under the rear seat trim , but it all looks good now its primed sealed and painted  

Cheers and good luck with it Guys …….
