How do the console seat belt clips attach on a '67 (screw only, screw & clip, screw & nut, ???)?
Also, does anyone have a template showing where the holes go?
Thanks

Wasn't that a Camaro only feature? Or is it a Deluxe Interior feature?
I have never been able to find evidence of these clips on my pretty original June built '67.
2012 Mustang Boss 302 #1918, Competition Orange. FGF replacement
2006 Mustang V6 Pony, Vista Blue. Factory ordered.
2019 BMW X3 (Titled to the wife, but I'm always driving it for her. So I'm claiming it)
Old projects, gone but not forgotten:
1967 FB 400, original CA car. After 22 years of work, trashed by the guy who was supposed to paint it. I had to sell it.
1980 Turbo Trans Am
1970 Mustang fastback, 351C 4Bbl, auto
1988 Mustang GT, 5 speed
1983 F-150 4x4, built 302
1994 Chevy K2500 HD 4x4, 454 TBI

It's a deluxe seat belt feature that I believe was introduced mid year.
I'm tired of my belts falling down between the seats.

There are many past threads on this issue. If I say they were never a 67 bird option, 8Point will come to my house and kick my butt. Some say they were an option, some say they were a dealer install. I put mine on with screws at a location where the belts can reach when adjusted for me. The place where they are found "originally" is pretty far forward so I think you have to run the belt out to reach.

There are many past threads on this issue. Yes, I'm experiencing major deja vu, especially seeing your pic for the 10th time. What I can't find is a template someone posted quite a while back. I thought I saved it, but if I did it's long gone.

John, Bob is right . The best way is to get your belt adjusted for your size and put the clip where the belt extends to .
The original location is way to far forward to be practical. You have to adjust it each time you get in or out
And like Bob S if you get thicker in the future it wont matter!!!!

You guys are right. I went out to the garage this morning with my template and saw that the clip is set for someone with very short legs and a large stomach. If I install them, I'll move them back at least two inches.
So how do they attach? Is there a nut on the back?

On Camaros, the clips were added to all consoles mid-year. I'd be surprised if it was different on Firebirds.

I'm sure the Firebirds were first and the Camaro guys were once again trying to catch up - JK.
Maybe this could be a new topic in the research section?

John, I just used sheet metal screws. You need to drill a pilot hole for the screw and a larger hole for that little tab to go into.

Bob, so the screws thread right into the plastic? I thought there would be a nut on the back?

I guess you could use a nut. I just screwed into the plastic and the clips are on there securly. If you're being a stickler for originality, someone with original clips will have to chime in on how they mount.
