Belt me. Pop me.


Doug,

   "On that note, Someone mentioned that there are three-point mounting
spotsn in the rear seat area of the Fastback.  I have the same mounting
points on the pillars between the rear windows of my Squareback, and I
assumed that these spots were for the attachment of the hardware for
optional popout windows.  Is it safe to use these as attachment points
for a three-point belt?"


Yes this is for the shoulder belt, not for the pop-out window.  It is
perfectly safe (unless you are using the T-3 to test your new Atlas
Booster Rocket Engine, then no).

The pop-out window attachments are hidden until you remove your middle
window and remove the rubber.  You'll see two slots cut into the window
frame lip (I'm not sure if '71 and later's have this though).  The
mounting for the latch to close the window is under the headliner behind
the opening, treaded and ready to go.

I had a '71 that didn't have the slots to do it, but you can easily cut
slots to make it work.

Se Ya,
Big AL
