Beltbelts install in 30 coupe ??

[A-Jay]

I bought 4 sets of seatbelts for my 30 Coupe, but not sure where I should secure them on the frame. Also I have belts for the Rumble seat only because I had seen pictures on line, of cars with belts in the back, should the rumble seat have belts in your opinions. If so where would they mount back there. Thanks guys.

Doors open and the rumble is open so people are thrown out easy. The doors open in low speed collisions. You would be amazed of how far you can fly around in a minor 30 MPH collision. I did volunteer rescue and still am amazed at where people end up.

You want to stay with the car.


I have a wood silled cabriolet. I am putting in seat belts in the rumble. I am anchoring the sides on the uprights for the hinge. I put in a heavy bar across that goes under sills to do the center.

Because the lid can close down I am thinking I will make a harness up that comes up from the bumper bracket.

Here are some pictures of what I have done.

I used the Search function with 'seat belt' and found this http://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7605&highlight=seat+belt

I had this saved as a favorite http://www.cedarcreekas.org/TechTopics/SeatBelts.pdf

I scrolled through the old Fordbarn http://66.39.52.174/aforum/aforum.htm, since I thought there were good tips over the winter, but didn't go back past April. I think there were tips from a coupe owner, so you may want to dig through it.
