     Corbeau (and others) makes some y-type 3 point harnesses that we're going to use with sport seats that we got from Summit.  The shoulder harnesses go through holes or slits in the top of the seates and down to the lap belt.  Based on diagrams from Corbeau, the "y-belt" to the rear can be installed to one side or the other, and at a slight "downhill" angle.  On Doran's 65 Monza, it appears that we can install an anchor bolt on either side of the rear seat, bolted through the top of the fender well.  The nice thing about the belts is they have a second release that will be right behind the front seats, so you can release the belt and still easily tilt the seats forward to allow passengers to get in and out of the back if needed. Corbeau was the only manufacturere that I found with this feature, but there may be others.  Thought about installing an anchor in the roof, but this seems like an easier way to go.  I presume that it would also work on an EM.  We've ordered the belts and should have them in this weekend.
