If you look at my first post on this thread, you'll see how I fitted 3 point restraints.
IMO, about all a lap belt does is stop you being thrown out of the car. A help, but waaaay short of where I want to be.
We went straight to 3 point attachments in the 60's. In a new car with it's airbags, automatic braking and collision avoidance, seat belts are almost superseded.
