Shoulder belt in a 55-57 T'Bird?

[CaptBatty]

Does anyone have a shoulder belt or 4 point harness installed in their T'Bird? I'm not too thrilled about driving with only a lap belt and would like at least a shoulder belt but not sure how it would mount. I've seen some 4 point harnesses and would prefer one of them over a lap belt as well.

I friend of mine installed a three point belt system in his 57. The part with the retractor was mounted on the rear wheel well, with the other end mounted on the side of the seat. The clip went to a short piece that was mounted behind the seat on the right of the driver (and the left of the passenger).

Thanks for the info - I'll look around for someone that sells that type of setup for my 56.

I haven't seen any one that makes a kit. The one that my friend has was engineered by him. He started with a set of belts taken out of another car if I remember correctly.

You can get three point belts from Juiliano's in Connecticut
