Front seat belt install on 47-52 Champion?

[Lothar]

Recent threads about seat belts have focused my mind on the topic. I want to use rewinding lap belts for the front seat of my 1950 Champion sedan with stock bench seat. As far as I can tell, the only place to put the rewinder is directly behind the rear corner of the seat. The standard after-market rewinders that I've seen advertised on the internet don't look like they will fit well. I hope to find belts with a tilted rewinder and a long plastic sleeve to hold the buckle within reach. Has anyone found a rewinder configuration that works well on these seats? Could any 47-52 owners who have the rewinding belts installed post a couple pictures?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Billy. Your Wagonaire should have seat belt anchor points installed from the factory. Did you use them?

Yes, the floor holes were used when I had lap belts, this just gets the winder out of the way.
