If you look at my !00Tech PDF on John Simm's website, under Seat Belts You
can see how I did it.

I read somewhere that it is not advisable to fit a shoulder harness when
the belt would come from below the occupant's shoulder; i.e. the belt needs
its top mount anchored above shoulder height. I don't remember the
particulars, but there was a rational explanation.

when folded (I only have a hard top)

As I get closer to #724 emerging as a functioning car, I am thinking
about seat belts. Shoulder restraint would give me a better chance of
survival and health in the event of a crash, even with that long solid
'lance' aimed at my chest.
I know the basic procedure on a four seater like our former BJ7 but it
had a mounting already built in for the shoulder strap. I remember
instructions for locating the shoulder strap anchor on earlier six
cylinder cars, but I don't recall anything about the two seaters or
the four cylinder cars in general.
So, has anyone installed 3-point seat belts in a Healey Hundred? Is
it possible or just impossible? Any advice is most welcome.
