Product Description
Some seat belt installations go smoothly: the anchor point is flat, in the right place and at the right angle. Many others, especially in classic cars and custom builds, do not. The anchor might sit in a recess, next to a floor pan rib, against the transmission tunnel or under a seat frame. The Seatbelt Planet 6" Double Bend Bracket is designed for exactly those tight spots.
What It Is
Seatbelt Planet describes this part simply as a seat belt mounting bracket for tight places, finished in yellow zinc plating. It is six inches long, and its two bends create an offset between the mounting end and the belt end. That offset lets the bracket step over an obstruction or move the belt attachment point to a better position while still bolting flat to the car.

- Length: 6 inches
- Shape: double bend (offset)
- Finish: yellow zinc plated
- Use: seat belt mounting in tight or awkward locations
When a Double Bend Bracket Helps
A straight bracket only extends an anchor point. A double bend bracket can extend it and also raise or lower it. That makes it useful when:
- The factory anchor sits lower than the surrounding floor and the belt end fitting will not sit flat
- A seat frame, console or carpet padding gets in the way of the belt
- You need to lift the buckle end so it sits at a more comfortable height
- A custom seat or bucket seat conversion moved the seating position
Why the Finish Matters
Seat belt brackets usually live on the floor of the car, where moisture, road salt and dirt collect under the carpet. Yellow zinc plating adds corrosion protection, which helps the bracket last in that environment. It also gives a neat, factory-hardware appearance if the bracket is visible.
Choosing Hardware
Like any seat belt part, the bracket is only as strong as the way it is mounted. Use proper seat belt bolts of the correct grade and thread, and use reinforcement plates where the floor is thin or where you are creating a new anchor point. Seatbelt Planet sells hardware kits and reinforcement plates for this purpose, and we carry many of them. Make sure the mounting surface is solid metal, free of rust and properly supported.
Ordering
Each bracket handles one anchor point. If you are installing belts on both sides of the car, or need offsets at more than one location, order the number of brackets your job requires.
Fitting Tips
Mock up the installation before drilling or tightening anything. Sit in the seat, fasten the belt and check that the lap portion rests low across the hips rather than across the stomach. Confirm that the bracket does not contact the seat track, wiring or fuel and brake lines, and that the belt end can pivot as intended. Tighten all bolts securely. If you are unsure about the strength of an anchor location, have a qualified shop look at it before you finish the job.
Small parts like this are easy to overlook, but they often make the difference between a belt that fits properly and one that sits at the wrong angle. Getting that detail right makes the whole installation safer and more comfortable.
