<DIV><STRONG>Joel, </STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>How about a report on the type of 3 point that you used......brand
name, model #, retractable or non-retractable, does the center belt have a
stiffener that sticks up or do will you have to hunt for the belt each time,
etc...... Anyone else have info on what works well in a Tiger?</STRONG></DIV>

belts are almost complete. The wheel well nuts never had anything in
them, the car only had lap belts before, so re-tapping was required - rear
wheel well sides done. I am going to get a few (4) small spacers for the
behind the seat attachment points so it does not bunch up the carpet at this
location. </SPAN></DIV>

back in order to complete the doors as well as getting the top frame complete
with center strap attached. We ended up with a 2 piece installation
here. One from the middle bow to back bow and a long piece from the
header to the rear bow. We are not attaching the header portion until
the top is installed to ensure a taught fit. Seats should be back from
upholster some time in the next 2 weeks and then interior would be
complete.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV class=yiv0125132353gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small">In my Tiger,
assembled in the late summer of '66, there were mounts for lap belts under
the rugs, and for the shoulder belt on the wheel arch in the rear.
They are threaded to take the standard seat belt bolt, whatever that is,
because a couple sets I've obtained from other cars, including a Mercedes,
fit right in. </DIV>

short side, and didn't like the angle of the lap belt when using the

drilling holes in the floor and using those giant washers intended for seat
belt mounting</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>I must confess, when doing metal and body work, I did not
think ahead regarding seat belt mounting locations. I know with 1968
and newer cars you are required to wear a seat belt but I am sure I want
them on any car I drive.</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>So, what do people do regarding adding seat belts 'after'
welding is out of the question with new paint completed and carpet
installed? My MGB has welded in captive nuts for belts and shoulder
strap mounting points and I guess I was thinking the Tiger MK 1A had them
as well - bad mistake. Options now?</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>My other concern is with the seat slider where the seats
'raise/tip' forward with no way to hold back of seat frame from tipping
forward in case of front end accident. How have folks addressed this
issue or is it a none issue?</DIV>
