67/68/69 cuda dilemma
Also been working on the seatbelt anchor points for the 3 point shoulder belts that will go into my 67 and my sons 69. The 69 will need these lower attach points too even though it already has an upper anchor point. Pix shown are from my 67, but the attach points and anchors will be the same for both cars.
Belts are from wesco performance in Kalifornia. $212 shipped for 2 front shoulder belts and 2 rear lap belts. They have an 8" upper sash so the belt doesnt cut into your neck. The retractors still lock even on the slight angle they are at. When i got them, the tag sewn into the belts said they were made by Seatbelt Solutions in Jupiter Florida, however their catalog doesnt show an 8" upper sash for the shoulderbelt. I will likely buy a duplicate set of these from wesco performance to keep both cars the same.
Anyhow on the 69 as on the 67 there still needs to be an anchor point on the floor forward of the retractor for the belt. You can see why in pic #6.
I whittled out 2 sets of floor anchors for both cars out of 3/16" thick 2&1/2 square tubing, and made under floor reinforcements out of 1/8" plate. The reinforcements fit inside the rear reinforcement channel for the front seats. Its like this location was made just for this.
