Title: Rear Should Belt Retrofit in 79 Beta Coupe Post by: aldad138 on November 03, 2015, 08:09:07 PM Hello again! I am hoping some of you fine folk have experience and pictures with installing a three point seat belt in the back of a Coupe. My 79 has lap belts only, and I have sourced good aftermarket "universal" seat belts. I am hoping to get some lessons learned from anyone that has already done this. Biggest two questions are:
Ideal top mounting position for the shoulder "hook" and ideal mounting location for the retractor down near the floor. Thanks!

Your fitting bolts will obviously need to be a matching thread. If the thread has gone on the lower points it's possible to fit retaining nuts via the rear wheel arch/under the car.
