I still have not installed seat belts in my 32 Ford coupe with the original seat. Not really sure how I want to go about it. Does anyone who has a 32 Ford coupe with original seat have photos of how they installed seat belts in their car? I am a big proponent of seat belts and feel naked when driving without one buckled up.
I hope some good ideas and photos are posted because I'm at the same place with my Model A Coupe. It is very unusual that I don't catch myself reaching my right hand over my left shoulder to put on the belt like I do in my daily driver. Lynn

Don, my installation might be different from yours as my '32 roadster is a Wescotts body and I'm not sure what the coupe body is like. What I did was use the body bolts just behind the seat. I spanned both bolts from one side of the car to the other with 1 and 1/4 by 1/8" angle iron and picked up all four mounting points for the seat belts off the web of the angle. If I knew how to post pictures I could show you but I'm basically computer illiterate.
Did you cut through the back of your seat frame or just go between the upper and lower cushions? I am really interested in how the seat belts are bolted to the floor and/or bracing.
When we put belts in my 5 window with the original seat we cut slots in the curved sheet metal to get the belts in the right spot in relation to my waist.
This is the question I had. Thanks. This looked like the only way to me but I just hated to cut into an original seat back. Did you line the slots with any kind of insulation to keep from cutting the seat belt material from use?
