Oddly we had diagonal-only 'Swedish' belts fitted in my father's 64 Variant when new. They had great chunks of metal that clipped onto a hoop between the seats and were stored on the door pillars - about half a pound of metal at head height as you got in, lightly clipped in place. Not what you would call safe really. Then in use you would throttle yourself or break your neck if your lower body went forwards. Stupid design. Dave.
