Got a SIII 109 and for the life of me can't quite figgure out where the retracting reels mount. I have the upper mounts for a hard top and the brackets for between the seats. Do they mount to the backside of the bulkhead in the cargo area or on the side of the body rail near the bulkhead. I can fab up any brackets needed but can't find a pic of the mounting.
Will be loosing the hard top soon so what do you do with the upper loop mounting then??
Thanks all.

On my 109 station wagon I mounted it on the floor behind the seat and opened up the frame mounting holes to put the bolt through there.

On my 88 I mounted it to the bulkhead using a spreader plate.

Here is how it is done on my SIII Lightweight. I know it won't be exactly the same on your vehicle, but this is to give you some ideas for making up brackets. There is a seat belt mounting frame that is used for the shoulder loops. The frame and the retractor brackets are tied into the chassis with a bracket.

Thanks. Wanted to tie into the frame and that gave me some good ideas.
