I only have the lap belt...I dont want to install a roll bar behind my seat. Is there an alternative to keeping my torso firmly in my seat when I have to slam on the brakes?....Would prefer to not use my nose as a bounce-back device

Perhaps something to be mounted on the rear door panel so its still effective without bending my spine and doing more harm than good

There are bosses installed in the rail above the doorframe for shoulder harnesses.You'll need a pair of shoulder restraints, a pair of bolts and a pair of floor belts with latches to install beside the console.


Just because you're paranoid, it doesn't mean they are not out to get you. WANT TO BUY- Looking for a CD by 'The Sub-Mersians' entitled "Raw Love Songs From my Garage To Your Bedroom". Also, any of the various surf-revival compilation albums this band has contributed to.

Sebring leather Convertible seats with built in shoulder harness are a nice upgrade IMO.


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

I have a set in my garage from a friends build that weren't used but you need to wire it up to a g-force shock sensor correctly...I dont want more electronics (for safety equipment) on this car.

I am interested in this...but I am reading the description and there is no mention of an inertial lock. I need to send an email. Thanks for this

Why would you "have to"?

Most online that have made the conversion say they didn't, I have two installed sets and I didn't. They have mechanical inertial locking on the belts, the g force sensor only effects the crash tensioner, and you and most others here do fine without it now I think. I did wire up my electrics for seat position, which is useful and easy.

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

I rather like the seats that I have in there now. They are out of a 1995 Porsche 944 Turbo..in a blue suede/velour and the rear original seat was reupholstered to match the fronts. These Sebring seats are out of a 2002 Sebring LX. He bought the wrong year as I found out...he needed the next generation of seats. Plus I don't care for tan leather...it would have to be reupholstered again and I can't trust anyone here to do it in the same fabric as I have now
