What are the white tubes?  Reference points to check to see if the chassis is square?

 

I really doubt they are for reference points,reference points are taken from the frame itself, if you extended those points you could be off by quite a bit due to flex in those pipes.  I would bet they were using those as risers to get the body higher off the floor or something like that.  Would be interesting to know. jkordzi where did you get the pics from??

I'm all new to this Mustang thing and all. I just bought a 69 T5. It did not have rear seat buckles. I installed them this weekend. My car already had star wrench bolts installed into those backing plates as seen in your pictures. I used that location to install male side of the seat belt. But had to drill holes on the outer sides of the floor pans to fit the female side of the buckles. And I guess it's all about location, location, location where to install the outer belt. I will admit I did not know where the manufacture might have done it. But I chose a location that allowed the best fit of the belt as well as being able to get at the nut on the backside of the floor pan. I also had to consider the way the belt was going to be routing around the outside of the seat once it was installed again. I did not want it to be so far under the rear seat. The location I picked seemed to be a pretty good spot. The only real instructions that came with the belt was that it needed to be installed with a spacing no less than 15" and no more 25".

Anyway, I was able to haul the family to town on Sunday and they seemed comfortable and more importantly safe.

Thanks
