I’m planning on Re-installing the front dinette (Palm Beach)

There appear to be flanges that would bolt into the engine house step.

Are there T-Nuts in there to accept a bolt?

I don’t remember from when I took them out.

Right now it’s covered in dyna-mat, mass loaded vinyl and carpet, which is why I’m asking before I tear into it.

Thanks.

Yeah, pretty sure it is held in by 1/4" or 5/15" lag screws.

Mine are 3/8 lag bolts 2" long into the plywood. I opened it up and reinforced under the plywood with a piece of 2 X 4 so the lags had some meat to bite into.JWID.

So it’s just the seat belts that use bolts into the aluminum structure?

Yes, just the belts since the need to hold a lot of pull in a crash.
