Has anyone ever installed 3 point retractable seat belts in a vert? Where did you anchor the top? Thanks joe

A roll bar would be required for that type of installation on a vert. What I'm doing with my Ghia vert is installing racing type seats with the double shoulder harnesses that are in the seats. I'm also installing metal plates underneath the pans for the seats to bolt into. If nothing else it should keep my butt in my seat. Good luck. Empified..........

My 70 Vert came with 3 point non-retractable seat belts. I replaced them with a retractable type (from a SEAT - spanish copy of a Fiat).

There was/is a loop anchored just behind the driver's L shoulder on the wall of the 'passenger' compartment thru wich the belt passes.

Other than the fact that it can occasionally slide of my wife's skinny shoulders - have had no roblems at all with it.
