The factory belts bolted to the rear seat brackets. I don't think you could get the retractors to work properly bolted to the seat bracket. Most retractors are sensitive to their mounting angle. I.E. they generally need to be mounted vertical or the retractor mechanism won't work.

The thread linked may help visualize what I'm attempting to explain. Vectorit has some good photos of the underside of the mounts on the first page of the thread.
