ok i wanna change the front seats in my celica, have some bucket seats out of some thing, but they have been in a few different cars. i can get the seats in to my car fine, but the seats i have in my ra23 atm have the seatbelt buckle on the side of the seat. now i have no where to bolt the buckle to the side of the new seats. just wanna know what other people have done to get around this prob. i would like to know the easyest way to do it apart from leaving the original seats in.

Couple of options for you.
Transfer the RA23 seat rails to your 'NEW' seats, and use the rail bracket to mount the belt.
Cant remember if 23's have "left over holes in the floor", as the TA22 mounts the seat belts on the tunnel. Could well have the holes, as firewall forward, was the major change between TA and RA.
If no holes, drill a couple, and go get a couple of "Child restraint mounting kits" These have a plate with a captive nut, which you would use as the anchor for your seatbelt.
Or use 1.5" x 1.5" x .125" steel plate,which can be used in body panel to mount seatbelt.
cheers Chuck.

Just to pick up from Charles. TA23s have holes, with captive nuts, low on the tunnel just level with the back of the seat that are normally used - I am fairly sure these are also on the RA23/28. Get under the car and have a look.
