Title: Another one for the 67-only experts: rear seat belts Post by: alex d on June 11, 2019, 15:53:31 pm So I was installing seat belts in the back and lo and behold I can't find the threaded mount for the shoulder point, a little of research showed that 62 to 66s have it....so do 68 and later....but it looks like 67s only have mounts for lap belts in the back, is that right?
Any ideas to install a car seat in a 67 are welcome ;D Title: Re: Another one for the 67-only experts: rear seat belts Post by: deano on June 11, 2019, 16:04:58 pm I believe those threaded inserts found on the B-pillars are used only on the Standard models, and not the export Deluxe with the zoomy retractable belts.

You’ll notice the first photo appears to be aftermarket made by American Safety iirc. The second pic appears to be made by Repa. I can’t confirm either of those but that’s what the labels look like to me.
