    Seat belt bolts 1965 convertible

    I want to renew/refurbish my seatbelts in my 1965 convertible and it’s also a good time to install new seat belt bolts. I notice the seat belt floor anchors were directly attached to the bolts without any washers. When searching I found several bolt kits. The Scott Drake bolts have 3 washers, 2 rubber and an 1 iron. The CJ Pony bolt kit have 2 washers, 1 big and 1 smaller washer, all rubber it seems. CJ Pony have two different bolt kits, one for convertible and one for fastback/coupe which is $1.50 more expensive than the convertible kit. I didn´t know there is a difference in the bolts between the convertible and the fastback-coupe.

    So what will be the right bolt kit, and how to install on the bolt.
    -First the iron washer, rubber washer anchor plate, rubber washer.
    -Or first the rubber washer, anchor plate, rubber washer, iron washer
    -Or just first the iron washer, anchor plate and no use of rubber washers at all.

    I got all of my seat belts and hardware from www.seatbeltsplus.com. It is much cheaper than scott drake and is nice grade 8 hardware. The threads are the same as factory and you shouldn't have any issues.

    Here is a hardware kit that should have everything you need (you will need two of them, but at $5 each it is not a big deal)

    Thanks. That's quite a difference in price. As I look at the seatbeltplus kit, there will be first one small flat washer on the bolt, then the anchor plate and then put this in the factory seat belt anchor plate of the car. No rubber washers at all.

    But, what is the difference between bolts for a convertible and a fastback/coupe at CJ Pony.
    At Scott Drake the bolts are for all types from 1964-1973. No difference at all !
