Title: installing seat belts in a 59 bug
Post by: Rocket Ron on April 26, 2011, 10:42:50 am
Hi guys

I'm looking for some tips on installing 3 point seat belts in a '59 bug and thought that someone may have some tips on the easyest way to do this without cutting up the bug too much.

I would like to fit them in the factory 3 point position if possible i.e. tunnel and top and bottom of the A post.

The car is in og paint and would like to keep the damage to a minimum 

plan B is fit the RLR cage and harnesses but the wife is less than keen on the cage now I've mocked it up in the car  ::)

any constructive help would be appreciated

Thanks in adavnace

Hi Ron,

Alex Taylor did the same conversion for my 58 standard.

You're welcome to pop round and take a look if you like or give him a call  ;)

Cheers

Lofty
