3rd child seat



Sorry I can't help you with details of installing a 3point belt but I am
responding because I had a similar sitsuation, I installed a third seatbelt
in the center of my '76 by simply adding another factory belt pulled from a
wrecking yard and attaching it to the same locations of the existing belts,
I since needed to use a car seat behind front passenger seat that accepted a
lap style belt and just recently found it time to move to a Booster type car
seat, but finding one that was usable with lap belts was difficult, I
located one at Costco, installed it and discovered that the factory roll up
seat belt was inadequate for my level of safety, I then purchased a
replacement lap seat belt from Kragen Auto Parts (contains a pull strap
w/wedge lock), after installing and adjusting (takes a few times) I then
mounted a bracket onto one of the center mounting bolts (required slightly
longer bolt) for the tether strap, it seems to work very well and I wouldn't
suggest doing such if I didn't feel it was safe, I took some pics while
doing it in case anyone else may be interested in adding a rear belt, let me
know if you want the pics and I'll send them to you.
