[Healeys] 3 point seat belts in a BN1?

[Peter & Veronica]

....I was required (by Australian Design Rules) to fit retractable seat belts to my BN1 (because of a motor change to a 3.8 litre V6) Not all that hard (as per photos) but I don’t know how you’d go with the soft top frame when folded (I only have a hard top)

Subject: [Healeys] 3 point seat belts in a BN1?

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.

-Roland
BN1 #724
