Hi I have a 1966 plymouth Satillite Conv. I know they never put seat belts in until 1967 I have just lap belts in mine I think you can put in what ever you want.

I have retrofit a few cars with these 3-point kits. They have all the hardware and instructions on how to do it right. Great price, quality and customer service.

thanks!

on the retrofits that you have done - did you ever try a 4 point? - did you have to drill new holes in the floor pan?

thanks you in advance

Yes, on the '28 Model A, '54 Chevy and '39 Pontiac, I had to drill all new holes in the floors for the lap belts and welded plates in for the shoulder harness pivots. On my '70 Mustang and '66 Charger I was able to use some of the factory mounting points. On the Charger I bolted that pivot mounting plate instead if welding and it worked out well.

I posted a thread about it a while back.

The shoulder belt was optional in 1966. I don't know what the hardware looked like under the headliner (or rear side panel for convertibles).
