[Healeys] Fitting lap/sash seat belts.

[J. Scott Morris]

Hello Patrick;  
   
  The Austin Healey Club of Southern Ontario web site contains a bulletin on seat belts in early Sprites, 100-6 and 3000 roadsters  in pdf format.   It was obtained from a series of BMC/BL technical and service bulletins; specifically, from Austin Service Journal 1961-11-16   A437.   It shows the anchor fittings for both the driver and front passenger use.   While not specific for the 100, hopefully it will be of some help to your friend.
   
  I have also attached the same material in an MSWord format.

  A friend has just bought a set of 3 point lap/sash seat belts for his 100 and isn't quite sure where the belts should be attached to the car.  Remember it's a RHD car but I wouldn't have thought it should make any difference.  As far as the attachment near the seat bases perhaps the floor or the driveshaft tunnel on one side and the floor on the other. With suitable backing plates of course.  However what about the third attachment for the belt so that it can easily go over the shoulder? Perhaps the wheel arches would be best?  Your thoughts would be appreciated. >>
