Bob,

On the EMs I've had and have, I use large body washers (3" in diamter) on
the backside. As long as the sheetmetal is solid, you'll be fine. BTW, there
are dimples in the sheetmetal to guide you where to put the holes. Also, see
this link for a drawing.<http://autoxer.skiblack.com/nallm/62-4seatbelts.pdf>
