A seat belt connection comprises a seat belt connection member 40 and a bracket 46, for a pillar (14, figure 1) of a vehicle, wherein the pillar has a plurality of walls 22, 28 (also 16, figure 2) defining a hollow space there between, a front wall 28 faces generally towards the front of the vehicle, wherein the member comprises a plate (41, figure 3) element and a seat belt guide (43) located at one end thereof, the plate element being fixable to the bracket through the front wall, wherein the bracket comprises a rigid element arranged to translate forces from the member to one or more of the plurality of pillar walls when the connection is installed in a vehicle and under tension from a seat belt attached to the seat belt guide. The rigid element may comprise three orthogonal elements (50-52, figure 7) in the approximate form of a half cube. The first orthogonal element (50) may be attached to the front wall, and the second orthogonal element (51) may be attached to a side wall 22, thus transferring a load applied to the seatbelt connection member.
