I could have been more clear, I believe there is actually more than one inch of clearance, I meant that even with as little as half inch one could slide something in to deflect a blade. Sealant is a concern but there are long life products that will do an excellent job.

My plan is to cut the the smallest hole possible and cover it with a scrap from a donor. If it means compromising the structural integrity of the truck I will not do this. That's why the post from Stephen gives me pause. I will take a look at the seat belt anchor he refers to.
