Seat belts, 1950 F3

[msstring]

As I continue this journey of getting my 50 F3 drivable. I wonder what you are all doing for seat belts? I assume finding used. But what have you found to work the best? How are you mounting them? I plan to keep the original bench seat. So I figured I would put 3 sets in. You doing shoulder straps? Just lap straps? Nothing? Interested in your thoughts.

I went with lap belts, 2 sets. I bought brand new ones, and bought 94" long ones. I am using the stock seat. 72" sets are widely available but only work for VERY skinny folks.

I mounted them into the flange of the channel that runs under the gas tank, and used proper heavy rounded washers underneath. See below

Juliano's in Connecticut has a shoulder strap kit and belts if you are still interested in going that way. They also have all kinds of belts to choose from.

I purchased a set for my 50 F1 on seatbeltsplus.com
Very satisfied

Thanks guys! I'll check them out.
Ross F-1, I was eyeing up that channel too but wanted to see what you all are doing.

I got ones from eBay Andover restraints, cause I like the backing plate a hefty rectangular metal as opposed to the round washer sold most other places. I’ll agree with Ross I Bought the 74” and they just fit. I didn’t see a longer size though as most seemed to com in 60” lengths which I can’t imagine would even work on the skinny ones?

Like the aviator style clasps. Have them on my 38, Think it was julianos. Nothing in the 36 yet. 3 point if you can would be the best. My only thought would be to never attach them to the frame at any point.
