seat belt routing 21-23 series
Posted by HH56 On 2015/5/7 11:01:51
I remember a posting from one of the forums a few years ago about how seat belts on a pre 51 car had been installed and the owner had decided to modify the seat frame. Have to get mine ready for the upholsterer so hoping that person or anyone else who has done this can elaborate on something that works so I don't try to reinvent the wheel again.
The belt seems like it would have to go thru the frame so the seat can slide properly -- at least on the inside or center belt and there appear to be options. My question is did the belt go thru the curved portion on the top at C and come out above the carpeted foot rest or did you place a slot on the side of the curved portion at B which puts it under the footrest. Slotting anywhere on A seems to be unlikely or have I totally misunderstood and the belt was routed around that portion and anchored somewhere under the seat.
The outside belt seems like it could stay on the seat edge completely out of the frame and anchor to the reinforced plates a few inches behind the seat tracks -- or were those routed inside the frame also.
