I don't have a head liner either so don't know how that will fit over the upper shoulder strap plate. Knowing how some head lines go in (I have removed a few headliners from other vehicles) I don't foresee any problems.

I used Juliano's for mine. I wanted new ones just in case. They come with good hardware to mount, but I had to make my own upper mount to weld to the window frame and door jamb frame. I used 1/8" steel plate and doubled it where it mounts. I bolted the bottom through the channel behind the seats and put one of the Juliano's rectangular plates below that have compound curved corners. They are of course supplied with grade 8 bolts. Not the greatest pictures though...

One more question, what size nut did it require for you to weld in? Is a standard size bolt used across several vehicles? The star pattern looks similar in size to what I have seen in both of my 150's and ranger.
They came out of a mid 90s Aerostar extended van and are very long. I'll run out of room behind the steering wheel long before I run out of seat belt. I could have mounted the retractor a little lower and the top mount an inch higher because the spool fills up all the way.

I forget what size nut that is. I used the OEM bolts.

I used the seats and belts from a VW Jetta. I mounted the belts using the Mid-Fifty plates for the shoulder mount.
