I am just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on outfitting the rear seats with shoulder belts. My '72 Fury has only lap belts in the rear seats....it has shoulder belts for the front which looked like they were never used until I got the car.
I have 3 kids and I like using the car to take them to their various sporting events on the weekends. I think my wife would prefer I had shoulder belts in the rear for safety reasons. I am certainly not opposed to this but I would like to do it in a way that doesn't degrade the beauty of the car. I am thinking that doing a four point harness might be the best solution since it would only require drilling a new anchor point beneath the seat for each harness. I can reuse the existing anchor points for the sides.
This is what I was thinking of using....any thoughts?
This is our 4 point seat belt with a Push-Button style buckle, featuring 2 inch shoulder harnesses for both shoulders that extend to 66 inches when fully extended, plus a 44 inch tail strap that anchors to the floor of the vehicle. These seat belts work for either, driver, passenger or middle positions in your car, truck, van or RV. This seat belt is perfect for the middle position of a bench seat where you would like to have a shoulder harness seat belt or would like to attach a baby seat or child car seat. (Child car seat seat belt.) These four point belts are Federal Safety Standard approved #302!
