Three point seat belts in an a-body

[scottylack]

anyone ever put a three point set up in an A Body???
Looking for a setup for my 64 Valiant convertible ... any info appreciated!!

I added them to my 69 drop top. I had it down to the shell and welded in plates and nuts into the side panels. I scored a complete set of front seat belts from a 74 Duster. The shoulder belts do not retract though, you can unclip them from the lap belt if you need to.

is there anything aftermarket???

My 68 GTS came them originally "stock", but the PO had taken all seat belts out during resto, so I had none.

I bought a set of reproductions on ebay and finally got them in this week.

@CUDA69- Where did you put the shoulder belt inside the convertible top. I can't picture how you accomplished this?

Just my .02

Wesco (link below), has complete sets and they are VERY affordable.
I bought 4 threepoint sets and made two fourpoint set-ups for non racing use for the front seats. I set it up so they can easily be unbolted and secured and regulation five point setups be installed for race day.

Mine are from a '97, but I think you can make any year work if you can figure out the electronics required for belt release and lockup.

There are several companies out there that specialize on seatbelts for Classic Mustang convertibles. You may be able to adapt the idea over to your car since they are about the same size and same design. Here is an example.
