These look a lot more professional and refined than the fender washer and bolts through the pan I often see on replicas. Mounting the seatbelts on the side is a better idea than on the flats of the pan where they will rip through or shear off in an accident.

I anchored my seatbelts on vertical surfaces.
On the outside, I bolted through the steel tube frame.
On the inside, I bolted through the tunnel double thickness where the pan was shortened and used an extra steel piece inside the tunnel.
What is also interesting is how they selll PRE-Shortened pans to weld in after you cut the center tunnel. Pretty cool.
If I were trying to build a show car those billet seat belt mounts might be just the thing. Polish them up. Anodize them gold. Maybe engine-turn them or c&c a dollar sign on each one.
I think they're a bit precious for a car I was planning to drive.
