Hello, are two point lap seat belts ok for a s1 2+2 etype or do they need to be 3 point over the shoulder?

From a safety point of view 2 point lap belts are no good for any car....you will bend forward and smash your head on the steering wheel and/or screen in a front end impact. If you can fit them use a three point belt....just my opinion....

If the car was made during or after 1967, it must have three point belts for the front seats.
