A Note on MGA Seat Belts - Harness type seat belts were offered as optional equipment by the manufacturer BMC during MGA production years. Original belts were supplied in kits or came pre-installed (if ordered) as per later MGA production. For example, MK II's were fitted with the anchorage brackets. For more information on original seat belts see factory literature including section S and SS of the MGA Workshop Manual.

Notice and suggestions:
In the 3rd image above, the diagram shows the #10 screws installed from outside with washers and nuts inside the tunnel. The factory Workshop Manual makes a specific point to install these with the screw heads inside the tunnel and the washers and nuts on the passenger side. This may not make much difference if the screws are not too long. I would go by the Book and keep the threaded ends inside the car for better environmental protection.

In the 4th image above, in the diagram "C-Frame Anchorage", there is a 4-1/2" +/- dimension for location of the outboard anchor point. Placing this bracket 2" farther to the rear works well and may avoid damage to the seat back when the seat is pushed to rearward limit of adjustment.
