Ok I am new to beetles and fell into owning a 66 beetle (I think I like it)I already have a bay . What I need to know is can I fit seat belts into the rear are there bolt holes in the roof lining etc to mount them............

Yes, there are mounting points up above the rear window filled with a large Phillips screw plug..
My question is the lower mounts, There appear to be a set of center mounts high up under the seat back again filled with Phillips screws. As for the outside mount, there is a big bolt in the floor but it seems a bit too far inboard. What about the bolt that holds the seat-seatback?

I am trying to locate the same holes. The arrows in that picture look to be pointing to where the seat back bolts to. Is that right? There seems to be a bolt the same size as a seat belt bolt that looks like it will work but it is on the floor. Please advise. Thanks.

The seat belt holes and seat back holes are close together. I'm sure I have a photo

Thanks, I am sure it is there. I need to go look again. Carpeting is in place, just need to peel back a little more.

Is that a rusted, broken off bolt below the mount?

I'm doing the rear WW seatbelts now and found this picture helpful.
