Re: [T3] '66 seat belts

["Dave Hall" <dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk>]

Our '64 1500S Squareback came with just diagonal front belts (dealer
fitted).  They were a Swedish make with a massive clip that clamped
onto a chrome loop on the tunnel.  It must have been meant to be a
diagonal because the clip had a tag on the back to fit it into the
upper mounting when not in use.

I thought all Type 3s came with 3-point mounts, but if so, why fit
2-point belts at all?
