There have been some discussions in times past about putting lap/shoulder belts in 'lap belt only' Barths.

Well, I did it. Have a link to my imagestation album showing the process.

Only took me two years to start it, two days to complete it. Procrastination is always a problem with me, never performance! LOL.

Dave, if you want to, you have my permission to save these to a better server or put them on your site if you think they would benefit anyone.

The photos are captioned, hopefully they are self explanatory.

Thanks for all your support. Hope this helps others!

Nice job! The idea of an adjustable seat is making me reconsider just adding a shoulder strap to mine.

Have you considered any reinforcement where the pedestal mounts to the floor?

Oh Dang! Glad you're OK. It wasn't a classic Bonneville, was it?

Hi Bill:

Yes, I have considered that. Since I might change out the pedestals for a shorter one ( I am going to measure the pedestals in my conversion van) I am going to carefully explore how they are bolted up underneath. My recollection is they are bolted into some pretty substantial square tube steel spaceframe, that covers the engine compartment.

I'll let you know.
