If not what were the complications and how did you solve the problem? I know a lot of questions, but any information would be appreciated. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 2,234 Moderator: Interiors, Texas Bolters, Name that Part | | Moderator: Interiors, Texas Bolters, Name that Part Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 2,234 | I put both 3 point harnesses and a 2 point harness in a 51. It was straight forward! What kind of belts are you using?

Any recommendations? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2020 Posts: 69 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2020 Posts: 69 | 2001 Silverado seats with integrated 3-point belts. I didn't want to mount anything on the pillars so these worked great! Nothing in the center.

Which ever, ensure you put a plate on the opposite side of the floor or pillar so the bolt doesn’t pull through.
Everything is up to you. I used 3 point to keep from slamming my face into a metal dash. I also needed them so kids could ride with me.

Also, I would like to fit some sort of grab handle/strap above the passenger window for my wife to hang onto as she gets nervous without something to hang on to. Has anyone done anything like this?
Many thanks, Bob | | |
