Here's the offset bracket I made for the right side using the bracket provided from Hemco I mentioned in an earlier post ...

It's simply a seatbelt bolt & Nut with a few spacers to make it all work, then I place the seatbelt retractor plate over the exposed bolt and then screw down the nut with a spring washer.

The bracket will all be hidden under the carpet and the exposed bolt/nut will be hidden under the retractor's plastic cover. So it's all unseen and no-one would ever know.

Just fitted the same belts to my 77 and only had to re drill the  the mounting bracket on the RHS ,fits fine ;35

Thanks Silver,  for the reply. I did see that original picture and post, however due to the 78-82's being slightly different in the rear i didn't want to mount my seat belt retractor on the wheel arch in in the rear section.
Fortunately for a post reply by sirfixalot who has the same year model, he has already come up with a solution that mounts the retractor on the B frame. I will post a picture of the setup so that any one else who is considering this option can see what it looks like.
