Can anybody tell me where in a 60 series landcrusier the bolt is for a rear facing baby
seat strap, or where is the best spot to get one put in if they don't have them Cheers

IIRC there won't be a factory point in your 60. (there may but I've certainly never seen one, but have seen a few 60s with crab bars)
You will need to have either a floor mounted anchor, or a "crab bar" fitted.
And, (in QLD anyway) it must be installed by a certified person and have a mod plate.
The crab bar goes across the vehicle at about base of window height at the C pillar, it provides options for up to three baby mounts
good luck

Thanks for the advice, will follow up with the NT motor vehicle registry and see what their requirements are. Hopefully nothing to difficult, but then again for bubs it's worth the hassle.

I drilled a hole in the back floor care full of the fuel tank and made a plate about 50mm square for both sides and then attached the baby bolt thing to that .
I felt safe in that to pull a plate taht size through the floor would be hard work.
All the best

Sounds like a pretty sturdy way of attaching the bolt, as long as it doesn't weaken the metal too much. Thank you for the answer, I'll give it a go
Cheers
