Hi all,
I got the 3 point belts from LMC, and I’m having a heck of a time trying to get the shoulder anchors to work for me. The bolts supplied with the belts will not bite in these threads. It feels like the anchor threads are stripped out, but I don’t think this truck ever had 3 point belts so I’m confused how that could be. I’ve checked the bolts with a thread gage and they are the same as all the YouTube videos I see of guys installing this kit without issues but I’m here struggling.
If my anchor points are stripped/damaged what would be my next step forward? I’d really like to have shoulder belts because people just drive so reckless these days.

@Deej
You should reach out to @Randy De Oreo
He had the same issue with his seatbelts, maybe he can advise you..
