Subject:Re: Rusty rear seatbeltmount on firewall

here in the rust belt of the US this is a very common problem.  i think
the easiest way to fix this is to weld in a unrusted section.  probably
involves removing the transmission to do correctly.  if you do weld in a
new section make sure you caulk the hell out of those plates, then insert
the bolts and encapsulate the bolt ends in caulk.
