Default Carpet install?

Posted this on the interior section, but thought some of you may have had experience...

I found procedures online for cutting the L around seat bracket's, but how about the large pad for rear seat bracket that houses the seat belt retractor?

The rear outside seat bracket on the 73 A-body sits on top of the seat belt retractor, which is mounted to the floor. What is the proper way to cut carpet around this piece?

Thank you!

I poked a hole in the carpet where the bolt goes and used a razor blade to cut out a square big enough for the bolt to go through. Might not be the correct way, but it works and you can't see anything when it's all bolted up.

I did the same as cdrookie (although my car is a 77).
