#1 Series 1 seat belt set up

Post by andrewh » Sat Dec 07, 2013 9:30 pm

My 62 FHC does not have or has ever had seat belts. Rather late in the day as she is now fully painted and in the latter stages of building it up, it occurred to me that I should think about a set of seat belts. I see that in about 64 Jaguar added a boss under the rear side window to fix the shoulder strap but not sure what to do with my car. Presumably they were an option from new even in 62 . Can someone please enlighten me what to do or where to fix the belts please?

Well that didn't get you very far Andrew !

Mine being an OTS, this may not be much help on a Coup? but might just focus your mind on a couple of the issues ?

Thank you guys and apologies for only just noticing your replies. For some reason I never get notifications of replies so have to trawl though my posts to check.

I was wondering about how the belts fitted but have now discovered the boss under the side windows albeit its a different threaded item to your which i believe were fitted in late 63? and there are two bolts on the floor I gather. Think I should be ok now. Much appreciated
