You could always try to fabricate your own eye-bolt type of brackets and get the Casco ones in the other locations.

DJ,
Thanks for your posts! Don't know if I will try to find OEM like you did but I am going to use the installation instructions as a guide for whatever I install.

Ron, yes it probably was me. I paid through the nose for them and seller never left me feedback for it. There was a used set that was listed by the same same seller and he was wanting more for them than what I paid for the NOS set. Mike, I'll have to scan the copies of the front installation instructions. I found the rear installation instructions on line somewhere but I do have a copy of it on my computer at home.

Thanks for all of the tips. DJ -- it would be great if you could post the instructions. I hadn't even thought about OEM and the CASCO part looks like a good substitute.

So YOU are the guy that bought them! Did you win it on ebay about a month or two ago? I was watching them, as i hadnt seen hardly any sets of those come up for sale over the years...

Yes, those are the ones I used for the fronts. They look "stock enough" in that they don't stand out as being obviously wrong, especially chromed, compared to the giant eye bolts most mfgs provide. The OEM front ones are hard to find. Plus, they aren't supposed to be used with the clip type replacement belts; they should be wrapped, etc. The rear ones kind of don't matter; nobody can see them anyways.

The CASCO mounts are exactly what the OEM rear seat mounts look like for rear seats. http://www.parts123.com/parts123/yb.dll?Parta~ShowPicTxt~Z5Z5Z50000219a~Z5Z5Z5AABPZ
