      20Gs is roughly crashing into an incompressible object at 30 mph and the car coming to a stop in a under a tenth of a second. But that's the car coming to a stop over the course of a few feet, the passenger comes to a stop only after the car does and in a far shorter space and the Gs are much higher. My math might be off but it looks like you tested your seat belts to make a low-speed crash technically survivable (at best).
      Regardless, I'm in no way disagreeing that simply bolting seats to the floor would be a bad idea, but then again so is riding around in seats without headrests and lap-only belts in cars without airbags or airbags or crumple zones. I'd be surprised if any single mounting point could bear that kind of load, but fortunately that load is spread out. Absent a demonstrable reason not to be, I'm more inclined to trust a well-braced shoulder belt seat with grade 10 hardware through the original frame plus sheet steel over a two-bolt lap belt solution. Again, I'm with you on doing it right, but I don't think anything about our cars as shipped 45 years ago is necessarily inherently safer than what can be done today.

      What about Sebring seats? http://www.ebay.com/itm/272126721744...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

      Mitsubishi Eclipse ~2005 I think, power driver, very tightly packaged.
      I had to narrow the slide rails so they would sit low enough but did not take much.
      Passenger side tilts up and slides forward for easy rear seat access.
      Had to dye them black but like how it turned out. Seat is leather with vinyl sides (painted those pieces).

      It all depends on the mounts whether the seat fit or not.Or you might have to make your own.
