I did the Bumblebee in 2001. Somewhere along the years I have lost some pictures, the shoulder belt anchors are among those lost.
However. I cut a opening on the roof directly over the B Post with my Plasma. The B Post is hollow. I then dropped a piece of 2.0" wide x .500' thick bar stock down inside the B Post, that size just fits nice. Its welded in place and the top has the anchor. I then closed the roof. My M37 has 2.0" x 2.0" x .250" square tube from the floor up to the level of the anchor bolt. Its all welded in and now is part of the body.
Neither of these schemes would probably pass a 2007 Crash Test, but its sure better than nothing. In my opinion, there is nothing outside of a fab job on a PW/M37/WC for a secure Anchor point for a Shoulder Belt. On either the Bumblebee or M37, the entire B Post area would have to be ripped out during a accident for a total anchor failure.
