3pt Shoulder Harness How-to
1970
 |
| The 1970 mustang had
a seat belt with a shoulder harness. It was a little different then what we think
of as a shoulder harness seat belt. The 3pt shoulder harness seat belts that we
are installing are D. O. T. aproved. You may find as we did that you need to clean out the threads. The seat belt mounting points have become cruded up over the years. The tap is a 7/16" fine thread. |  |
| This is the shoulder mounting point on the mustang. It is above and slightly in front of the B pillar. |
| The shoulder part of the Julianos seat belt gets bolted into place. We are using the same exact location as the stock belt without any modifacation. The special shoulder bolt that comes in the hardware kit allows this point to pivot even with the bolt extremely tight. |  |
 | With that tight, the plastic piece snaps into place. This seat belt install is taking place in the middle of a full restoration, that is why the interior is completly removed. You can do this installation with the interior in the car because we are using the stock mounting location. |
This is the stock mounting point for the retractor. This is located just slightly above the floor directly below the shoulder mounting point. The lower mountiung locations are more likely to be rusted with the threads full of gunk. Even if the top mount was good run a tap thorough the bottom mounts. |  |
 | The retractor and the end bracket get bolted to this location. The end bracket being bolted with or below the retractor is very important. That will be the portion of the belt that will lay across your lap. |
| With that end buttoned up, its time to secure the the fixed part of our belt. There are bucket seats in this car so we got the stiff fixed arm. This worked well with our seats. Again we are mounting to the stock location with no modifacation. |  |
 | Here is the stiff arm getting bolted to the bracket that we just put on. All of the boltes in our hardware kit are grade 8. Make sure to tighten all bolts very tight. |
| With all three mounting points of our Julianos Three Point Seat Belts were are completely finished with our seat belt installation. |  |
| The installed we just performed was the easiest way to do it. We utalized all of the stock mounting points and it looks great. There are ways of installing that look better though. There are many differant ways of installing our belts. We are showing you another way to do this because some of you may want to hide the belt and in doing so improving the accessability of the back seat.
