Description
Seat Belt Retractor Anchor Bracket Set – MGB GT (1973-On)
If you’re installing or replacing retractor-style seat belts in your MGB GT, you’ve likely run into a frustrating issue, the factory mounting point simply doesn’t work with modern or original retractor mechanisms.
On 1973-on MGB GT models, the factory seat belt anchor boss is welded to the top of the fender arch. However, its position sits extremely close to the vertical bulkhead, leaving insufficient clearance to mount the bulky retractor unit directly.
That means without the correct bracket, proper installation is nearly impossible.
The Solution
This seat belt anchor bracket set is designed to bridge the gap between the factory mounting point and the retractor assembly, exactly as originally engineered by the factory.
By repositioning the mounting location slightly outward, these brackets:
-
Allow proper fitment of retractor-style seat belts
-
Eliminate interference with the bulkhead panel
-
Restore safe, secure seat belt mounting
-
Replicate the original factory solution
Why You Need This

Essential for installing retractor seat belts on 1973+ MGB GT models

Bottom Line
