[Gary McCormick]

No argument on the 5-point belts.

IMHO much safer than a 40+ year old system which mounts in areas that *could* have rust issues… Mark From: Gary McCormick [mailto:gkmcc at sbcglobal.net]

Subject: Re: [Roadsters] 3-point belts on 69-70 Roadsters? I was all in on your proposed alternative to the stock three-point seat belts until you said “rear facing (sic) stop light” (I am assuming that you meant a high-mounted brake light on the rollbar.) I wouldn’t waste my time or money on that particular feature. High-mount brake lights are the single most useless automotive feature ever foisted upon the motoring public.

Subject: Re: [Roadsters] 3-point belts on 69-70 Roadsters? To add my 2 bits here…. I had 3 points with my ’69 2000. But the straps were rotten and the buckles were corroded. I got them re-chromed and new straps at Snake Oyl (www.ssnake-oyl.com). Wasn’t cheap, the total was on the order of $600 a couple years ago. If I was going to do this again, I would buy a nice after-market roll bar with a center bar. Put in a 5 point system with a rear facing stop light. David Premo 67’2000 is the ideal setup here. My guess is total would be on the order of a few bucks more, but much safer all around! Mark
