<VV> 3-Point Retractors in Late Model Coupe

[Mikeamauro at aol.com]

Sorry,  first sent without changing the subject line (at least I didn't 
resend the  entire VV email...
 
"...the  issue with retractors in a coupe is that they have to mount 
somewhere near the  floor and they are fairly large, which means easy to trip over 
when getting in  and out of the back seat. Not to mention having to crawl 
under/through the  shoulder belt...
 

Agreed, Kent, those are valid considerations; but, the alternative:  
risking driving without modern 3-point belts, is (I believe) a  considerably 
greater concern. The installation in my 67 moves the retractor  fully rearward, 
and has not caused any issue during the infrequent use of the  rear 
compartment. 
 
Installation pictures, with comments, have now been completed and can be
