My ‘66 bug has front lap belts. I want to add 3-point belts. I have read that the ‘66 has pre drilled and threaded mounting holes behind the headliner in the upper b-pillar.
Does anyone have a picture showing exactly where? I don’t want to cut in the wrong place.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks. Was yours pre-threaded?

Yes. Just had to feel for the impression thru the covering. Poked a hole thu then widened it for the bolt.

My 66 has it in the same place, threaded for the bolt.

To verify, some use a fine needle to probe... holes are almost invisible if your first guess isn't correct.
