Mitch Wolberg comments: My 69 Spider Junior uses one of the top frame
bolts for the third attachment point and the belts look original though
that really doesn't mean much. They don't work all that well either
since the diagonal section wants to slip off my shoulder.
******
The rear anchor point for diagonal seat belts on these cars is
dangerously low. For the belts I sell I "strongly suggest" a different
/ higher mounting point which gives only slight interference when the
top is down. I also include a seat belt guide with two small stainless
sheet metal screws per seat for mounting. Still a bit of a compromise,
but if one doesn't expect the convenience of diagonal belts in a tin
topped car (the floor to ceiling B-pillar is a handy location point)
they work quite well.
