When I set them I clipped them and pulled them back until they fit me on the hips good then marked the spot. It may be a difference in size among folks since nothing is adjustable on the jeep. I am 5'9" about 185 with a 33 inch waist. I won't get any taller but the other stuff is subject to change.
I tried the belts today and I think that the angle is better with them mounted just a little higher than the hat channel, as you have yours. And maybe 6" or so back from the riser....I'll work on it some more before drilling though!
CJ-5's aircraft belts sure bring back memories.� Put the exact same belts in my '56' CJ-5 back in '70'. Got em at the Elmendorf base surplus store.� Gotta see if I can get them back from my nephew.� Probably take a whole bottle of *.
I have some 60's era lap belts and put one side on the slope of the wheel housing and the other about 4.5 inches back on the deck with 3/8 bolts through and large washers on the back side and nylock nuts on them.
