Speedster Seat Belt options?

#1 Post by Dan Macdonald »

Guys,
There doesn't seem to be much on the Talk List about installing 3-point seat belts in Speedsters. The PEP website shows most 356 belts are out of stock and they haven't responded to my inquiry. I did see a posting about race-type belts in a Speedster, but that's about it.
Do any of you have suggestions for fitting 3-point belts in a Speedster? Any photos?
Lap belts are straightforward but how about 3-point?
Thanks.

Not a Speedster, but a solution done by Bob Grigsby when he restored the Coupe that I now have. I won't go through the windshield, but the compression issue is still a possibility. Nevertheless, I feel more secure with a 3-point arrangement than not.
