I'm looking at fitting some 3 point static seatbelts in the back of my 1979 GTI
I think I've found some that will fit (SECURON 200 ) but am not sure where the 'end bracket' mounting point is in the golf. There is a hole capped off with a plastic cross head screw (I've seen these before in beetles where the mounts were fitted but not utilised) in the boot area, each side under the parcel shelf side supports. There is a point under the back seat for the buckles but I'm not sure where the 3rd is. Does anyone have a photograph handy. The Car is currently 50 miles away so I don't have the opportunity to take a look very often.
Thanks in advance.

Try googling and image of a car with rear seat belts to give you an idea roughly where it may be?

It's the lower fixed point location I'm after, the one that's on the B pilar on a front seatbelt.

Found a picture, it's a cabriolet but the front fixing is the same.
Has anyone converted to a 3-point seat belt for the rear? | VW Vortex - Volkswagen Forum
just re read your post… The fixing in the boot is also pictured in the link, not sure if using those fixing is safe and if it will pass an MOT as the design really needs to be fixed to the c pillar like the way VW designed it?
