[Healeys] Shoulder Belt Source

[Oudesluys]

As in other rag tops the usual place for the reel is on an fabricated 
bracket low down on the rear wheel well and the slider on the top of the 
rear wheel well. In both locations proper reinforments like spreader 
plates have to made up. Have a good look in late MGB, Triumph TR6, 
Jensen Healey, Triumph Spitfire, MG Midget, Mazda MX5 etc.
Make sure that the position of the buckle is no higher than the seat 
squab and that the lapbelt is positioned over the thighs/low on the hip 
bones and never over the abdomen.
In my Jensen Healey the original buckle is placed dangerously high. I 
have replaced the seatbelts with items with very short buckle 
cable/strap. I think they are from a MINI.
