Lap/shoulder belts for Thing

[proemer]

I'd like to install lap/shoulder belts in a 74 Thing with factory roll bars. Anyone know of a source? Or instructions for Generic lap/shoulder belts?

Thanks,

I had a 74 thing a with factory rollbar that I instaled newer Saab seatbelts in. I got them at a local salvage yard for $15. I had to drill a hole on each side of the rollbar for the shoulder strap bolt... it out worked just fine. I also have the same kind of Saab belts in my 68 bus...

I installed 3-pt safety belts in my Thing. My rollbar is from the Thing Shop, and I ordered new VW safety belts online from BTLMEX (Beetle of Mexico), which fit nicely. While I had to slightly alter the metal tabs that attach to the coils, the tunnel-mounted (female end) fit perfectly right out of the box. Had to drill a total of 4 holes in the rollcage, and used snug-fitting grade 8 nuts and bolts to attach everything. Seems to work pretty well, though I hope never to find out exactly how well...
