Hi
Apologies for the confusion i should have looked at my seat belts before i wrote the reply the reel attaches to the capping at the rear of the seat, you have to use inertia belts that have the adjustable counterbalance as the reel works at an angle (it sits just behind the seat back) you tack the nut onto a steel plate and slide it in behind the capping.
To fix the bottom anchor drill through the B post near the top where it flares up opposite the corner of the seat you will need a flex head ratchet spanner to access inside the B post to catch the nut, tape the nut onto the flex head so it does not fall inside the B post until it locates the bolt.
Regards the anchor for the stalk this is attached through the floor to the pressed steel supports you could either dill through and catch the lip or use long 7/16ths bolts and go through the middle,these are heavy gauge formed steel so in my opinion i cannot see a problem in useing them as an anchor as long as they are not rotten. I removed mine and had them blasted and galvinized.
I did this about 5 years ago so again apologies for my original relpy,this modification still allows the seats to be folded away to the side and folded down in the bed position.l will try and take pics and post.
If anyone would like any help or advice on doing a Land Rover Dormobile give me a shout.I am currently overhauling a Bedford Dormobile and must admit the Land Rover was much easier.
