Hello CATS, I'm a new owner of a '65 Tiger with a 289 install and an automatic 3sp. That's a long story! Has anyone advice on installing seat belts? In the near future I'll also ask if anyone has installed a AOD transmission. I'll be as old as the year of the Tiger in a few months and am not too ashamed to say, an automatic is a welcomed relief on my arthritic shoulder. Words I never though I'd say! Thanks for any help CATS!

The tiger has sets belt mounting positions from the factory.
In the rear wheel arches in the back parcel shelf there are captive nuts welded on for the shoulder belts.
You can see them from inside the rear wheel arch...of belts were not fitted there is usually a nylon scree plug in there keeping the threads clean. You can poke a small sharp object through and that will locate it for you in the interior.
There are also captive nuts each side of the seats for the lap belts.
The issue with the shoulder belts is the low position of the mourning angling down from your shoulder. If you have a roll bar it would be better the shoulder belt is mounted there.
