hi - i have seen lots of posts about seat belts front and rear in stepdown sedans - a few owners stated they had 3-point seat belts for the front seat, with one anchor point on the "B" pillar - i would like to see some photos of this install, advice, tips, etc - thanks, b

    I would be interested in this as well as its something I will be doing a bit further down the track.
    Wouldn't of thought it would be too tricky though.

    I believe Richard Dryman has 3 point harnesses in his car.  You could maybe ask him for photos?  He's active on the Facebook page, if that helps you.

    I tried to install 3pts in my '54 coupe but the distance from the B pillar to the buckle just was not right so I punted and went with lap belts.

    These were in car when I got it.

    edit>> note that the reel prevents the seat from being moved all the way forward.
    If you are real short, there will be a problem with that.

    Keith, that's a link to the file on your PC.  You'd either need a link to a file that's hosted on the web somewhere, or to attach the file directly to the post using the button above the text box that looks like a piece of paper with the corner folded.

    Here is one from Ken U, I believe.  I've been saving it for my '50. 
     I'm sure he won't mind.

    thanks for these photos - this is very helpful - i haven't seen an attachment point like that on these belts - i usually see a welded nut - i will look at mine when available if a few days - then off to my metal guy to help with the install - thanks again

    Take a look at what Kiwis have to deal with when it comes to seatbelts. (one small part of certification process)
    Below is a link to the requirements that must be meet just for seatbelt to let our cars be aloud on the road.

    May seem a bit OTT but it keeps our cars safe I guess. And its kinda handy to know what thickness steel to use where. Rivets to attach I would be instant fail here.

    hi checked on my hornet today and the upholstery on the B pillar is formidable - my first rule when working on cars is "don't break it" so i may seek some professional assistance (not psychological) to finish this project - thanks again!
