I have matching holes (3, each side) on the wheel wells of my '59 Bugeye. I
haven't a clue if they were for seat belts as this car had (has) none when I
bought it.
I would like to get seat belts for mine but do not want to do any welding.
It seems that I saw a previous thread that indicated that all one needed to
attach these suckers was a good set of high grade bolts and some heavy duty
washers. Sounds good to low-tech me. But I am still at a loss as to where or
how they are to be attached whether it be 2- point, 3- point, inertia -
whatever....
I did note that Sports and Classics has the 3-point retractable on sale for
$89.95 each. They even give you a choice of a metal MG or Austin Healey
emblem on the buckle at no extra charge. Hell, I'd buy them from S&C for
that alone. Right now their 2-point, bolt to floor belts at $19.95 are
looking real good to me. Or am I just too bloody cheap and should go for the
3-point bolt to floor for $35.95??
Do the methods of attachment, bolt or hook, have any advantage over the
other when it comes to initial installation?
As far as S&C goes, I have no vested (or otherwise) interest in them. Hell,
I don't have a vested interest in much of anything else for that fact.
