[Fot] Seat belts

[McKearn McKearn]

Hi.
 Thanks for the replies.  I'm thinking a four or five point restraint is
what I want but getting the attachment points for the shoulder belts might
be tough. I am considering welding in an attachment bracket between the
rear fenderwells and keeping it hidden below what I would call the rear
seat top or cubby hole top or whatever that area behind the seat is that
currently is carpeted and hides all the junk I put behind the seat. I
thought 1.5 or 2.0 inch steel tubing with .125 wall thickness would be more
than plenty and then screwing 7/16 eye bolts to it through the carpet as
attachment points. That way only the eye bolts and the belts will be
visible from above. Any thoughts?
                   P.J.
