Re: seat belts

[Jan Czaban <dk715@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

i have a 71 spider, same concern from betterhalf. found a 70-ish vw beetle
in wreckers that had the KLIPPAN OEM 3-point which simply clips onto the
tranny tunnel loop. They bolted right in to exitisting 3 point mounts and
replaced the OEM lap belt. Same one hand operation. They workwith the 71
seats, although get slightly tighter when roof down.

goes.  My wife keeps asking me if I can install 3-point seat belts in my '74
Spider.  I told her that I'd probably have to change the seats, like the
ones on my previous '86.  Has anyone had any experience with this?  Can I
keep my old seats and install 3-pointers?
