Re: seat belts
Ease of fitting depends on how rusty the existing fittings are! If the bolts on the old ones undo OK, then the mountings can be used for the new ones. However, what type and age of Minor are we talking about - specific fittings vary. beware of the Securon recommended belts. Despite much evidence to the contrary, they still recommend the wrong model - the belt is too short for comfort. However, one of their other models fits perfectly. I'll try to look at the part numbers later.

Re: seat belts
The Securion belts are OK for the front, it is the rear belts for the Traveller which are too short.

Re: seat belts
A '67 2 door will have the mounting point for the belt top bracket, located just below the side window, a little way behind the B-post. The mounting for the reel will be in the vertical side of the floor pan / sill. The buckle should be mounted to the base of the tunnel side, just behind the rear of the front seats. You will probably need to drill a hole and fit a backing plate - unless you can use the fitting for the static belt.
