Scott, there's probably 1/4" between the upper part of the deck where the bolt comes through and then when it turns to go down to the seat bracing (the arrowed area). I could probably do a piece of steel plate there, since there is about 1/8" or so between the rear deck and the part of the brace that flares out. I should be able to get a plate of 1/16" steel in there and then just drill the hole near the one corner for the bolt.
As for moving the bolt, I tried the other hole you can see just behind where the bolt is right now, but the belt gets hung up on the rear deck and the retractor doesn't work properly. Where the bolt is now is probably the best location and gives the smoothest operation for the belt.
Now I gotta find somewhere that sells plate steel - maybe Home Depot or Lowes?
