Has anyone installed 3 point seat belts in the back of their buses? I’d love to get two for the back bench and one for the mid bench. I know I’d have to make custom brackets for the middle bench. I’ve been told by CIP that the belts they sell are too short to be used for the back benches.

for 3 point seat belts to work properly


youd have to bolt them above windows

if i remember correctly
there is a threaded hole somewhere up there
for 3 point seat belts to be installed

there is no way for you to "properly and safely" install a 3point seat belt at middle seat



many many moons ago ( at least 10 years)
i remember someone who posted pics of rear 3 point seat belts
that looked factory
