I have, 502/30 model I think. I had to make up new brackets to fit them. You could probably make some cutting up some right angle steel if you don't have a welder.
Attached photos.

They look better in the photo than they are. I own a welder but don't claim to be able to weld!
Key thing with brackets is to get the right length for the protrusion and angle the belt in a little. This allows the belt to be closer to the trim and it to run smoother as it pointing in the direction it's being pulled.
The brackets bolt to the car via (new) standard mounts, the sets belts are bolted to the bracket via a nut welded to the bracket.
The rest of the belts bolt in as per the originals, in to the chassis and sill belt mounts
