Re: 1971 Burgundy 911T

How did you attach the seat belt receiver to the lightweight seat mounting? I used the angled brackets from the original comfort seats - this is the passenger side (before repainting): https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53665050257_d0ea465a37.jpg - had to enlarge/elongate the holes slightly & ...
