BUT...that was over 80 years ago, and body rust and metal fatigue can do some really funny things sometimes.
Just something to keep in mind in "today's era"

80 years of corrosion on the bolts could compromise their integrity but how many of us are driving cars that have not been "restored" sometime during that 80 years. Even thgose who drive an unrestored original car should not do so without making it safe, IMO. That includes checking/replacing thse bolts.
I would not even consider attaching seat belts anywhere other than directly to the chassis.
