...that?s going to make it pretty difficult for any open sports car! You?ll see
on my installation that the shoulder strap goes through a loop as high as
possible on the rear bulkhead. Here?s a couple of diagrams from seat belt
suppliers.

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.

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.
