The information enclosed in this installation guide is to be used as merely an outline to assist you during the process of installation. This guide does not cover every installation possibility, vehicle, or every aspect of the installation process.
Note, the installation hardware above has been put together to cover as many variations of the '55-'57 Chevy as possible. In many instances if your vehicle has existing anchor points installed you may not need some of this hardware, please look over the installation guide for your type of vehicle, feel free to contact us for any questions you have.

Note: The information throughout this guide regarding retrofitting is to be used ONLY as a guideline for installing anchor points in vehicles that are not equipped with anchor points. The retrofitting steps in this manual should be performed by professional installers to ensure that the installation is as safe as possible.

PREPARING FOR SEATBELT INSTALLATION:
This custom installation kit will allow you to install most belts for the specified series of vehicle, however there may be some modifications that may need to be made to the vehicle's frame or interior to accommodate a safe anchor point for the belt system. Determine if your installation is a retrofit (no original seatbelts installed) or if you will be replacing existing 2 point belts and can use some of the existing anchor points. (Note: it is important that wherever you can, to use the factory anchor points, if it is determined that you must make your own anchor points, be sure to check behind or below where you will be drilling for adequate clearance for the bolt and reinforcement plate. Please note, that when drilling you don't accidentally drill into fuel lines,exhaust sytem, gas tank, brake lines, etc. If you have any question that the area you want to anchor to is weak, rusty, or otherwise not suitable, do not use it! The included hardware kit does include SAE Grade 5 metal anchors and bolts for reinforcement purposes, it is always wise to reinforce an anchor point to ensure the safety of you and your passengers.
