Seat belt release attachment point-correct belts for 260z?

[882993md]

Hi everyone:

 I’m installing my seatbelts and the shoulder belt portion is fine. However the side with the release latch I can’t figure out how to attach this. I thought initially the bolt hole would be on the transmission tunnel but then I see this attachment point. 

 If I try to attach it so that the receptacle is pointing  forward (between the tunnel and the car seat) it’s impossible to get a secure connection. There is a curve in the body  that doesn’t allow the seatbelt attachment point to lay flat. 

 If I orient the belt so that the attachment point lines up perfect, then the belt is basically pointing towards the back of the car versus forward.

 I was also thinking do I have the wrong belts for my 260z?

I sent a text to a friend with a stock 260Z to see if he can get a photo of the inner part of the belt mounted to the tunnel.

I scoured the internet for 240z/260z seat belt location/attachment pictures and was able to find the following pictures. It seems my latch side doesn't have enough of the L bend in the bolt hole part.

I'm thinking possibly about using a MAPP gas torch to heat it and try bending it in a vice with help from a hammer. if the results aren't good I will just have to spend money on the Wesco roadster belts.

I'm not sure about the belts, but it looks like your car has a Camaro steering wheel.

That looks exactly like what my '72 Camaro LT had.

I like my Wesco Roadster seatbelts which gives 3 point retractable and doesn't require any new fitting holes from the original belts. Skip the roadster belt hardware mounting kit and buy just 1 of these hardware kits instead.

The 2 "L" brackets are what you want for the buckle side of each belt. The rest of the mounting hardware can be re-used from the old belts.

I was forced to install the Camaro steering wheel as I have a mullet.
