    I hate re-doing things!

    A few years have gone by since I installed my upper 3-point seatbelt support in my Nomad b-pillars. Now I'm installing the other mounting points, and I don't like where the upper mount is since the belt doesn't hang vertically like I want it to. So I am now faced with removing plug welds and moving the attach point downward an inch or two. Hope this doesn't turn into a can of worms.

    Why not make it like Mercedes anchors, they slide up and down to fit the seated passenger/driver.

    Well I drilled the plug welds out with no problem. Going to drop them 2" to where the mounting holes are at the lowest plug weld holes. That way the seatbelts lay almost perfectly vertical with the lower b-pillars. Not sure why I didn't think of this before. The seat belts will still be higher than the tops of the seat backs.
