I'm wondering about seat belts for the 444.
I kept the belts and hardware from the 544 parts car junked years ago. This includes two front belts with the attaching hardware for each end, a sturdy metal loop which mounts on the transmission tunnel and a rear belt with large reinforcing washers and bolts for each end.
I would like to use a set up like the 544 had. But I did not make a record of how the 544 parts were attached.
The 444 has two machine screws on the door post, 4-5 inches apart and about at shoulder level. The hardware from the 544 belts screws right into those holes. I installed them there but the result is two belts diagonally across the chest and no lap belt. Could that be how they go? Looks like there should be a lower mounting point.
I'm looking for:
1. How far forward of the rear seat I should mount the loop on the center tunnel.
2. Guidance on the mount location for the front belts on the 544.
3. Guidance on the mount location for the rear belts (probably lot that critical where I drill, but suggestions/info appreciated).
And, if someone has gone a whole different direction with belts for the PV that works well I would like to hear about that as well. This car is going to be driven, not shown, so I need something that functions.
