Today I have fitted new front Inertia reel belts to my 1961 4 door, I used the Securon 500/30 set. A bit fiddley to fit but they went in, the hardest bit was bolting the reel to inner sill, as there is no captive nut on the sill I made some plates up out of some 1/8" steel I had to spread the load on the inside of the sill. Its a struggle to get the nut on the bolt on the inside of the sill but its is possible to do. In the kit there is a bracket which is stepped, you can see from the photo how it fits.
The Buckle is secured to the Transmission Tunnel, again I made a plate to spread the load from 1/4" flat steel, 2"long * 1" wide, drilled two holes at 40mm cts and tapped them M10, one bolt holds the plate in place and the other is used for securing the buckle.
Its probably over engineered but spreading the load around the fixings allows you to ensure you can tighten up the bolts without pulling them through the thin gauge steel used in the fixing areas.
Hope this helps.
