An automotive seat belt buckle pretensioner is economically mounted on a seat structure with a bracket structure that includes a first major wall securable to an available mounting surface, a second major wall offset horizontally from the first wall mounting the operating components of the pretensioner, and a horizontal connector wall joining the first and second major walls. The bracket can be reconfigured to meet different mounting surface availabilities and installation space requirements.
