I just bought a 1975 MGB convertible and am trying to figure out a couple
things.
For instance, does anyone know anything about installing:

a. A roll bar?

and/or

b. 3 point Seat belts?

Are either worth doing? Are there other safety options?
 
I am not terribly worried, but I have some concerned family members.

any thoughts welcome.
Thanks,
Charles b.
